Dear District 3 Community,
The District 3 team has been actively engaged in our community, and I am excited to share our progress with you in this newsletter. August provided numerous opportunities to celebrate the contributions and diversity within our community. Through solidarity and a commitment to uplifting one another, we ensure inclusivity and opportunity for all.
In this edition, we are excited to highlight the vibrant community events we attended and the key issues addressed by the Board of Supervisors throughout August 2024. This month, we had the pleasure of participating in a variety of events, including the Garfield Neurobehavioral Center Tour, National Night Out, San Leandro Davis Street's 10th Annual Health Fair, the Oakland Alameda Adaptation Committee Informational Workshops, the George Mark Children's House Hummingbird Awards, the Alameda County Community Food Bank Tour, Alameda Family Services' 3rd Annual Fundraiser, the Alameda County Behavioral Health Department Care Fair, Ruby Dean Hatchett's Centennial Birthday, the Spectrum Community Services Luncheon and Fall Prevention Class, Town Nights at Clinton Square Community Center and Park, Oakland Chinatown's 35th StreetFest, and We Run Oakland For Our Children, a 5K Run and Walk for Human Trafficking Awareness. It has been an extraordinary month for the District 3 team, filled with meaningful interactions. In addition to sharing these experiences, we will also highlight the County's ongoing efforts, provide valuable resources and opportunities, and offer information about upcoming events.
One significant topic this month was the recent Bay Area Housing Finance Authority (BAHFA) Board meeting, where the future of Regional Measure 4 (RM 4) was discussed in light of recent legal challenges. The Bay Area Housing for All campaign chairs unanimously recommended withdrawing the $20 billion regional affordable housing bond from the ballot, and the BAHFA Board voted accordingly. While this is a temporary setback, our region remains committed to seeking effective housing solutions.
September is a vibrant month filled with diverse celebrations and observances, beginning with the excitement of a new school year for our youth, returning students, and dedicated school staff. We kick off with Labor Day on September 2nd, honoring the hardworking individuals whose efforts have built and sustained our nation. On September 8th, we’ll celebrate Oakland Pride, recognizing the vital contributions of the LGBTQ+ community. Patriot Day on September 11th serves as a solemn reminder of our nation’s resilience and unity, as we honor those lost during the tragic events of September 11, 2001. Hispanic and Latino Heritage Month begins on September 15th, celebrating the rich cultural contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans. That same day, Rosh Hashanah marks the Jewish New Year, a time for reflection and renewal. On September 17th, the Mid-Autumn Festival, celebrated in many East Asian cultures, honors family, the harvest, and the full moon. As the month progresses, the Autumn Equinox on September 23rd marks the transition into fall, symbolizing balance and change, while National Voter Registration Day on September 24th highlights the importance of civic engagement. These observances provide us with meaningful opportunities to reflect, celebrate, and come together as a community throughout the month.
Oakland AAPI and African American Solidarity Walk
We invite you to join the District 3 staff at the Oakland AAPI and African American Solidarity Walk every first Tuesday of the month. This event promotes unity and support for both the AAPI and African American communities. Your presence will help strengthen community bonds and amplify our shared commitment to social justice and equality.

Date: Every First Tuesday of Each Month
Time: 11:00 a.m.

On behalf of the Alameda County Board of Supervisors, I was honored to present a proclamation to George Mark Children's House (GMCH) for 20 years of dedicated service to children and families. GMCH has provided respite care, grief support, and a nurturing environment, enhancing the quality of life for countless young patients. This year, GMCH also presented its first-ever Hummingbird Awards to those advancing their mission. Among the honorees were Pixar Animation Studios, Artworks Foundry, Serpico Landscaping, and the late Supervisor Wilma Chan, an early champion of GMCH's vital work. Supervisor Chan would be deeply honored by this recognition.

Alameda County Health (AC Health) has been awarded an additional $14 million as part of the Bridge Housing and Behavioral Health (BHBH) Program. This latest investment from the State will bolster Alameda County's strategy to support people experiencing homelessness with highly complex behavioral health needs.
The new funding of $14,040,909, combined with the previous Round 1 award of $46,782,359, brings the total BHBH funding for Alameda County to $60,823,268. AC Health’s Behavioral Health Department (ACBHD) and Housing and Homelessness Services program (AC Health H&H) will work together to focus this investment toward three key areas:
- Expanding interim housing capacity with intensive, on-site services to quickly place individuals with high mental health needs.
- Strengthening homelessness prevention efforts for unstably housed individuals by bolstering family and natural support systems.
- Identifying and supporting individuals exiting the criminal justice system to prevent homelessness during critical transition periods.
