A groundbreaking ceremony was held for the Nellie Hannon Gateway affordable housing development at Rockridge Geotechnical’s 3610 San Pablo Avenue site in Emeryville. The seven-story complex will create 90 affordable homes for low-income households, with 39 of those homes being allocated for families transitioning out of homelessness. The ground floor will be used by the Emeryville Citizens Assistance Program (ECAP), a nonprofit that provides food assistance. Speakers at the groundbreaking included the Mayor of Emeryville and Nellie Hannon, the building’s namesake.
