Eden Housing and the City of San Leandro announce that Loro Landing will begin accepting pre-applications on September 27.

Loro Landing will provide 62 affordable homes to low-income residents, with a mix of studios, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom rental units. One unit will be reserved for an on-site manager. The property is conveniently located at 1604 San Leandro Blvd., San Leandro, CA 94577, within 0.1 mile of San Leandro BART station and within a few blocks of shops and other amenities in downtown San Leandro.

Up to 30 units will be available for households earning incomes between 30% of the Area Median Income (AMI) and 60% of the AMI, which translates to between $32,000 and $66,000 for a two-person household. Pre-applications for these 30 units will be accepted online through the Alameda County Housing Portal (https://housing.acgov.org/) between 10:00 A.M. on Monday, September 27, 2021, until 4:00 p.m. on Friday, October 8, 2021.

All pre-applications received during this initial intake period will be entered into a lottery. Individuals selected through the lottery will be emailed and/or mailed phone interview letters with prescheduled interview times. There is limited capacity for rescheduling. Applicants not contacted will be placed on the waiting list upon completion of lease-up. Residents are expected to begin moving in between December 2021 and January 2022.

Thirty-one units will be available for households referred through the Department of Veterans Affairs or Alameda County’s Coordinated Entry System.

“Eden has a proven track record in the City of San Leandro and excels in creating and sustaining high-quality affordable housing communities that advance equity and opportunity for all,” said Mayor Pauline Cutter. “We are pleased and excited to be partnering with Eden to provide these 62 much-needed affordable homes to low-income residents.”

“Eden’s longstanding partnership with the City of San Leandro goes back four decades to one of our first developments: Eden Lodge. We are excited to expand our work in the San Leandro community and welcome the new residents at Loro Landing,” said Linda Mandolini, president and CEO of Eden Housing. “Eden is proud of our work with the City of San Leandro to forge lasting and sustainable solutions to the housing challenges we face in the region.”

The City of San Leandro contributed a $1 million loan, in addition to $4 million of the City’s allocation of Alameda County Measure A-1 loan funds.

Special to The Post

At Tuesday night’s Council meeting, the Vallejo City Council appointed Beverli Marshall as the interim city manager. Her tenure in the City Manager’s Office began today, Wednesday, April 10.

Mayor Robert McConnell praised Marshall’s extensive background, noting her “wide breadth of experience in many areas that will assist the City and its citizens in understanding the complexity of the many issues that must be solved” in Vallejo.

Current City Manager Michael Malone, whose official departure is slated for April 18, expressed his well wishes. “I wish the City of Vallejo and Interim City Manager Marshall all the best in moving forward on the progress we’ve made to improve service to residents.” Malone expressed his hope that the staff and Council will work closely with ICM Marshall to “ensure success and prosperity for the City.”

According to the Vallejo Sun, Malone stepped into the role of interim city manager in 2021 and became permanent in 2022. Previously, Malone served as the city’s water director and decided to retire from city service e at the end of his contract which is April 18.

“I hope the excellent work of City staff will continue for years to come in Vallejo,” he said. “However, recent developments have led me to this decision to announce my retirement.”

When Malone was appointed, Vallejo was awash in scandals involving the housing division and the police department. A third of the city’s jobs went unfilled during most of his tenure, making for a rocky road for getting things done, the Vallejo Sun reported.

At last night’s council meeting, McConnell explained the selection process, highlighting the council’s confidence in achieving positive outcomes through a collaborative effort, and said this afternoon, “The Council is confident that by working closely together, positive results will be obtained.”

While the search for a permanent city manager is ongoing, an announcement is expected in the coming months.

On behalf of the City Council, Mayor McConnell extended gratitude to the staff, citizen groups, and recruitment firm.

“The Council wishes to thank the staff, the citizens’ group, and the recruitment firm for their diligent work and careful consideration for the selection of what is possibly the most important decision a Council can make on behalf of the betterment of our City,” McConnell said.
