Cathedral Gardens is an award-winning affordable housing community in Uptown Oakland that pairs the restoration of a 1916 rectory from the former Saint Francis de Sales Cathedral with two new wood-frame buildings around a landscaped podium deck. Completed in 2014, the LEED Platinum development brought 100 one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes to families earning up to 60 percent of the area median income, with 43 units backed by Section 8 vouchers. Half a mile from BART, the property sits across from county social services and a VA clinic, anchoring lasting affordability in a corner of the city where it is most needed.
