Our philosophy and values
East Oakland Community Project is led by dedicated and compassionate staff who serve people and families experiencing homelessness with a high level of responsibility and integrity.

Across the organization, we value diversity in all its forms, embrace initiative and a strong ethic of caring for others, and support personal growth and positive change. We work collaboratively and inclusively across residents, staff, board, and the greater community!
In the words of our staff...

Edvita Kelley-SmithI love EOCP because I get to witness firsthand the incredible impact we’re making in one of the most vulnerable areas of our community-housing the unhoused. It’s more than just placing someone in a unit; it’s about restoring dignity, hope, and stability-not only for individuals, but for their families as well. Being part of work that changes lives at such a deep level is truly an honor.Edvita Kelley-Smith, Director of Shelter Programs
