Form 990, Part I, Line 1, Description of Organization Mission: The purpose of the Black Cultural Zone CDC (the "CDC") is to "innovate, incubate, inform and elevate community driven projects that allow our people and culture to "THRIVE". The CDC works on behalf of and with the Black Community with a focus on current and legacy East Oakland residents, businesses, entrepreneurs, organizations and artists. Our work, however, is of benefit to the larger Oakland community particularly those most at risk of displacement here in Oakland. The barrier we face is the rising cost of living amidst stagnant or declining community wealth for legacy and current community members. The barriers to wealth building are tied to disproportionate levels of high unemployment, high underemployment, low business ownership and limited economic opportunity. This suppression reflects decades of public/private disinvestment and other systemic and institutional barriers. We focus on East Oakland because it is one of the last Bay Area frontiers in the struggle for retaining Black communities. It has been "discovered and its neighborhoods are considered today's "hottest" Bay Area real estate markets. In order to hold place for Black residents and businesses in East Oakland, we mirror the focus of the East Oakland Black Cultural Zone Collaborative and center Black arts and culture and implement strategies in the areas of Place Keeping and building a Strong Economy which will improve the Quality of Life for all residents.
