RECOMMENDATIONS
ACCEPT a report on HACCC’s Executive Director’s receipt of Eden Housing’s Ilene Weinreb Civic Leader Award.
BACKGROUND
The Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa’s (HACCC) Executive Director was one of three recipients who received Eden Housing’s first Ilene Weinreb Civic Leader Award. The Award is named after Ilene Weinreb, a former Mayor of Hayward, who was an early champion of Eden Housing. Eden Housing is an organization that grew out of a small group of community activists in Hayward that tried to pass a statewide fair housing initiative in 1968. She is known for saying that, “affordable housing isn’t something that happens automatically, you have to make it happen.”
