With the Ghost Ship fire site now demolished, TheUnityCouncil is charting its future.
An Oakland-based nonprofit plans to build affordable housing, commercial space and a memorial to honor the 36 people killed in the 2016 Ghost Ship fire after the site was quietly demolished earlier this month.
"Folks were familiar with the work that we've done in Fruitvale for close to 60 years and thought that we would be ideal owners, who could provide the care and the compassion and the attention that this site needed," Karely Ordaz, the chief of staff for the Unity Council, told The Examiner. When the families were notified earlier this month about the impending demolition, Ordaz said that many, if not most, supported it. While the organization has solicited the families' feedback, it has been a delicate balance between keeping them in the loop and not burdening them further.
Jay Russell's three friends died in the fire: photographer Amanda Kershaw, Johnny Igaz, who was deejaying the event, and visual artist Micah Danemayer. Peskin stands by U.N. Plaza meeting, repeats Breed critique Board of Supervisors President Aaron Peskin said that the brick thrown during a special meeting was evidence The City has lost control of public spacesFor Russell, the idea of using the space for affordable housing is a better alternative than turning it into a venue, or a single-family residence.
"But we are, you know, definitely open to listening to the community and hearing from others as to what makes the most sense to build there," Ordaz said.According to Ordaz, the goal is to begin construction in late 2025, keeping victims' families updated along the way.
