OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) President Biden is focusing on economic relief as his policy theme on Friday two days after his inauguration as President of the United States. However, an Oakland neighborhood is setting an example of how relief can also be addressed at the grassroots level. The economy is part of Building A Better Bay Area.
Bordered on two sides by freeways, the Longfellow neighborhood in north Oakland is easy to drive past. But you would be overlooking a diverse community that really cares about its residents. While last year s stimulus checks helped some, job losses or other economic fallout left many others in need.
