Program accomplishments

  • In 2025 BPP made significant progress in architectural design for the building renovation, which included submitting and completing the Entitlement process with City of Oakland Planning Department. Despite the building being vacant we were able to activate the backlot by hosting 3 small outdoor events for movement partners. BPP also collaborated with students and teachers from nearby Park Day K-8 school to help paint murals on the existing building and community fridge which we maintain on the premises.
