Located in West Oakland within walking distance of the BART station, Marcus Garvey Commons provides 22 family townhomes with individual, private rear patios for all units, small, shared front yards, and an outdoor children’s play area. The apartment homes encircle the development’s common spaces – parking lot, laundry room, community room and kitchen, and outdoor recreation area.

The project was named in honor of Marcus Garvey, who sought to better the economic development of African Americans and coordinated a national “Back to Africa” campaign.

Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC)

Since this property has received funding in part through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, a certain number of units are set aside for lower income households. Households must earn either less than 50% or 60% of the area median income (depending on the set-aside option chosen by the property owner) to qualify for these units. Rents in these units are capped at a maximum of 30% of the set-aside area median income (adjusted for unit size). Some rental units in this property may not be subject to LIHTC and therefore have higher rents and no maximum household income requirement.
