About Us

BPOA, the grassroots trade association championing rental housing providers in Berkeley, is proud to represent a diverse membership of over 700 owners and affiliated professionals. Our community comprises housing providers with portfolios ranging from a single unit to hundreds of properties. No matter the size of your holdings, BPOA is the place where every rental owner belongs and thrives.

Our association is particularly dedicated to the majority of small housing providers, yet we recognize and support the unique needs of larger portfolio owners. Whether you're managing a handful of units or overseeing an expansive collection, BPOA is more than just an association—it's your dedicated partner in maximizing efficiency and minimizing risk. We provide the vital resources, education, and support that every rental housing provider needs to navigate the complexities of property management and avoid costly missteps.

As a nonprofit powerhouse, we not only equip you with the tools for success but also advocate vigorously on your behalf in the political and legal arenas. We ensure that your voice is heard, your rights are protected, and your interests are advanced.

Have something to say? We encourage you to reach out to us directly. Your concerns will be heard and addressed by our esteemed board members, who are committed to ensuring that BPOA remains a powerful advocate for all its members.

At BPOA, your success is our mission, whether you’re just starting out or managing a vast portfolio. Join us, and let’s build a stronger rental housing community together.
