Legacy House
A Place Where Restoration Becomes Reality
The Legacy House Resilience Hub is Lifers Leaving a Legacy's vision for a stronger, healthier, and more connected Oakland.
Created to address some of the challenges facing our communities, the Legacy House is designed to provide a safe, supportive environment where residents can access resources, build skills, strengthen relationships, and pursue new opportunities.
The Hub brings together workforce development, environmental education, digital inclusion, community support services, and personal development under one roof.
At its core, the Legacy House is about helping people build stability, confidence, and pathways toward long-term success.
