REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY CELEBRATES 
OPEN HOUSE FOR OAK PARK’S BLUE BUNGALOW 
New location and renovations create affordable 
homeownership opportunity 
Oak Park, Sacramento, California - The small house affectionately known 
as the "Blue Bungalow" in the Oak Park redevelopment area opened its 
doors on February 28 to celebrate its new location and renovation in hopes of 
attracting a new low- or moderate income homeowner. 
The Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (www.shra.org) donated 
the house to NeighborWorks® which moved it from an Agency-owned parcel 
on Ninth Avenue across Stockton Boulevard to 3324 43rd Street and completed 
the rehabilitation work on the home. Agency officials say the project represents 
a $400,000 investment in the community. 
"Today's celebration represents an important component in the larger City and Agency strategy to 
address housing needs in Oak Park and to revitalize the urban core of the community," said 
Redevelopment Manager Celia Yniguez. 
The lot where the Blue Bungalow once stood now presents a significant development opportunity that 
SHRA will pursue for Oak Park. Agency officials cited a number of completed, current and potential 
revitalization projects in Oak Park including: 
. 4th Avenue Lofts with 10 loft style market rate ownership units including three live/work units 
. $525,000 investment in traffic calming and drainage improvements on 8th Avenue between 
MLK and 42nd Street 
. Installation of more than 170 streetlights underway 
. Oak Park Community Center Expansion in partnership with the City investment of more than 
$5 million 
. Future public enhancements such as street improvements along Broadway 
. In the development phase: 
o 21 single family detached for sale homes (10 of which will be affordable to low income 
families for homeownership) at the old Donner Field Site 
o 90 units of both affordable rental units and market rate for sale townhomes at 
Broadway/MLK along with approximately 10,000 square feet of retail
