Affordable Housing
The City of Oakley has several options available to families, seniors and disabled persons that are looking for housing at an affordable level. 
At this time, the City of Oakley does not own any of the housing options you will see on this website, although the City of Oakley does monitor the units and has provided funding for several of the sites.
There are a lot of myths out there
regarding affordable or workforce housing
and its impact on property values, infrastructure and services. We invite you to click on this twelve page report from the California Department of Housing and
Community Development to understand the true impacts and responsibilities of each California community to provide housing at all economic levels.
Myths & Facts About Affordable & High Density Housing
How do I know if I qualify?
Each County is issued a Maximum Income Levels table every year by the State of California. This table tells us the maximum income levels in five categories. Each project, when it applied for various sources of funding, established the amount of units of moderate income, low income, very low income, or extremely low income. The State also calculates the median income level for the County. The median indicates the point at which half of the residents in the county earn more and half earn less that the established number. The chart below will help you determine the category for which you may be eligible:
