Supportive Housing Community Land Alliance

At SHCLA, we believe everyone, regardless of socioeconomic status, deserves beautiful spaces, a supportive community, and a community of practice that centers healing, wellness, and recovery. Our work acquiring supportive housing takes a village. We hope you check out this recap of our forum on supportive housing with District 5 candidates Nikki Fortunato Bas and John J. Bauters, moderated by our Executive Director, Teslim Ikharo (we/us), and join our movement to preserve and produce supportive housing through our real estate acquisitions across Alameda County.

SHCLA had a great discussion with East Bay Housing Organizations (EBHO) on emerging affordable housing models for people with disabilities. Thanks to our fellow panelists, Fatimah M. Aure, MPP from The Kelsey and Michai Freeman from the Center for Independent Living, Inc., Berkeley for their insightful contributions. During EBHO's Lunch and Learn series, Executive Director Teslim Ikharo (we/us) explored tangible ways for developers and service providers to better serve this often underserved community.

The Supportive Housing Community Land Alliance (SHCLA) is creating permanently affordable, sustainable housing outcomes for Alameda County residents living with serious mental illness (SMI). Our independent research indicates that over the last three years, we lost roughly 1600 beds serving residents with SMI.

Taylor Nanz curated a unique showcase of creatives and local businesses. Thank you Teslim Ikharo (we/us), John J. Bauters, and Nikki Fortunato Bas.

Our Community Conversation for the Culture event on affordable housing and mental health with Alameda County Board of Supervisors D5 candidates, Nikki Fortunato Bas and John J.

Special shoutout to all of those who helped make this night memorable like Taylor Nanz, Soul Blends Coffee Roasters, Chef Tirzah Love, Sloane Gross, and Lissette de la Rosa, MPA, SHRM-CP.
