This Oakland City Council resolution reappropriates $185,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds from the Housing Assistance Center to the East Bay Community Law Center for fiscal year 2019-20 and awards a two-year agreement to that organization not to exceed $185,000 to provide anti-displacement legal services.
