Public-Private Partnership Transforms Public Housing into Mixed-Income Development in Dublin, California

HUD User publishes a series of case studies based on federal, state, and local strategies that increase affordable housing opportunities and support sustainable community development. The projects and community development efforts featured in these reports have demonstrated innovation through a multitude of partnerships and initiatives. 

Emerald Vista in Dublin, California has gained national acclaim as a successful example of public housing redevelopment. Through a unique four-way partnership, the city of Dublin, the Housing Authority of the County of Alameda, affordable housing developer Eden Housing, and for-profit homebuilder KB Home turned a low-density, deteriorating public housing project into an award-winning mixed-income, mixed-use development. Emerald Vista provides an increased number of critically needed affordable rental housing units as well as market-rate and affordable for-sale homes. The development has ready access to public transit and incorporates sustainable aspects such as solar water heaters and green building materials.
