Oakland opened a new cabin community this week to temporarily house unhoused residents, particularly in the Wood Street area where scores of people were living under freeway overpasses.
The location of the new cabin community is 2601 Wood St., where there will be housing for up to 100 people. The opening comes following
Money for the cabin community came from an $8.3 million grant from the state. City staff have spoken with about 70 residents of the Wood Street encampment and about 30 have expressed interest in living in the community. Up to two pets per person will be allowed in the community. The community includes a shower, restroom, laundry facilities, a kitchen, security, parking and two meals each day.
City officials said the cabin communities have minimal rules. A code of conduct is established to provide a safe and healthy living environment for residents.Last month, Thao sent a letter to U.S. Vice President and Oakland native Kamala Harris in response to a federal plan for cutting and preventing homelessness across the nation by 25 percent by 2025. The White House and the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness are developing the plan.
