Back to EpisodesOakland's Homeless Shelters Closing, Residents Struggle
Description
Oaklands homeless shelters face closures due to budget constraints and performance issues. The citys Human Services Department identified programs like the tiny-home spot at Third and Peralta and an RV safe parking lot on Seventy-first Avenue for shutdown. Mandela House, another site, is also closing but will transform into permanent supportive housing. Residents at Third and Peralta are divided, with some choosing to stay despite the risk of arrest. The closures exacerbate Oaklands homeless crisis, where 5,500 unhoused individuals compete for 1,300 shelter beds.
