Dear reader,
Two of EBHO’s organizational values are storytelling for change and building and sharing knowledge. For nearly 20 years, we did this through our annual launch of the Affordable Housing Guidebook.
This print publication provided critical information to thousands of people over the years, and we are so proud of it. But as the pandemic changes so much about how we work and learn, we are now providing these resources through our online study room.
With The Study Room you now have access anytime, anywhere to the institutional knowledge and oral history our team has built since our founding in 1984. We hope these resources will help you in your own fight for housing justice.
This collection is always evolving and we welcome your feedback. We hope it feeds your mind and your heart as we strive towards inclusive, healthy communities.
In solidarity,

Executive Director, East Bay Housing Organizations
