In 2016, acd continued it's work in the community to provide housing and other development. A single family residence was renovated at 7101 spencer st in oakland and sold to a first-time homebuyer. Acd rehabilitated an oakland four-plex and provided housing for 4 families.

Acd also cooperated in the construction of a 59-unit residential housing complex with additional commercial space.
