The Community and Economic Development Agency (CEDA) is committed to sustainable growth and development throughout Oakland in ways that promote sound economic standards, environmental quality and the equitable distribution of jobs, housing and income. The Agency works to attract new businesses and jobs, retain and expand existing businesses, facilitate job training and placement, and redevelop key areas of the city. The Agency places a special focus on affordable housing, homebuyers assistance, the Mayor's 10K downtown housing initiative, and revitalizing our neighborhood commercial corridors.

The Agency fosters sound neighborhoods through diligent planning practices and administration of the City's zoning ordinances. CEDA promotes affordable housing opportunities and offers other housing assistance programs.

Planning, zoning, building services, economic development, redevelopment and housing and community development are consolidated functions of the Agency.
