The Alameda County Community Asset Network (ACCAN) is a working group of service providers, advocates, community-based organizations, public agencies, and base-building organizations that work in partnership and with other stakeholders committed to increasing the income and assets of Alameda County residents.
AC CAN's Mission
Alameda County CAN's mission is to provide a continuum of strategies, services and activities that serve all low to moderate income Alameda County residents in every phase of increasing their income and assets.

We believe that people should be met where they're at in their income and asset development efforts and that effective, relationship-based services and products should be appropriate to their needs. |

Eventually, OakCLT would like to incorporate urban agriculture as a key component of the land trust. Recognizing that fresh food options can be scarce (and often prohibitively expensive for low-income families) in East and West Oakland, active urban agriculture and community gardens can provide a healthy and locally accessible source of vegetables and fruits for neighborhood residents. OakCLT also plans on supporting the gardening efforts of land trust homeowners. For now, check out the great work of our friends and allies in Oakland working on food justice issues:
