Congressman Dellums founded the EBCRC in 1993 as part of an attempt to help communities recover from the impacts of military base closure. Sine her election to Congress in 1998, Congresswoman Lee has carried forward the commitment to help East Bay communities convert closed military bases into new uses, including housing for very low and low-to-moderate income families, as well as new businesses. Last year, Lee played a key role in the transformation of the former Oak Knoll Naval Hospital into housing.
"I am honored that the EBCRC will be recognizing me," said Lee. "I have long respected the work that Dave Wilson and the EBCRC have done, and I look forward to continue working with them as we transform vacated buildings and institutions into the building blocks of our society for decades to come."
