Livermore needs more affordable housing and Eden Housingâs Downtown Livermore Apartments is exactly what the community needs to meet environmental and equity goals.Â
This infill project would provide 130, 100% affordable homes for essential local healthcare workers, public safety personnel, school staff, hospitality employees, and employees of downtown small businesses and restaurants. With its prime location, more residents would be within walking distance of local shops and businesses, boosting economic activity by increasing the local customer base. With Covid-19 still in our wake, this underutilized site will encourage economic growth and recovery in Livermore.Â
Climate impacts are increasing every year. If we want to lessen the devastating impacts from wildfire and smoke, we need to reduce our carbon footprint by building climate friendly buildings like the Downtown Livermore Apartments in existing transit-oriented communities.Â

Emotions run hot as city council decides against firing Livermore Planning Commissioner over offensive remark Brandon Sapienza
After an emotional public debate, the Livermore City Council decided against removing Planning Commissioner John Stein, who caused an uproar after saying that affordable housing would create a “ghetto” in the downtown area.
“I really don’t want to see the downtown become a ghetto of affordable housing, and I support inclusionary housing both on a macro and micro scale,” Stein said at an April 20 city council meeting. “I think it should be distributed throughout the city and if we see high-density housing downtown, it should be market rate with maybe 20% affordable rather than entire affordable.”
