Description
The Unity Council is a community development corporation which was founded in 1964. The Unity Council is based in the Fruitvale District of Oakland and while its influence can be felt throughout the San Francisco Bay area, the Unity Council has focused its primary attention in recent years to creating new social-economic energy and vitality in community and economic development in the Fruitvale neighborhood. To achieve this vital growth, the Unity Council addresses the bond between a community's human and institutional resources and its social, physical, and economic condition. The emphasis on recognizing, and blending these crucial elements are incorporated in all the Council's community development projects.
