BERKELEY, Calif. (KGO) -- When the owner of a Berkeley apartment building passed away, tenants worried their building would be bought and flipped into an unaffordable luxury property.
So, the residents of the 12-unit building banded together and got help from a community partner to turn this building in South Berkeley into an affordable housing cooperative.
The residents led the effort by convincing the city council to allocate funding for the co-op to the city's small sites program.
This ultimately allowed the Bay Area Community Land Trust to purchase the building.
