With the opening of a new tiny home community and a new RV parking site, Oakland will have enough shelter beds for the displaced residents, the judge found.
OAKLAND — Nearly a month after a federal court barred Oakland from clearing one of its most prominent homeless encampments, the judge in the case has determined the city has enough shelter beds for the displaced residents and can proceed with the removal.
“The city’s obligation is to provide, in this context, alternative shelter,” said Orrick, who planned to issue a formal order following Friday’s hearing. “That’s the thing that I required of them. They have done that. It’s not preferable for you, but that is what they have now been able to put together.”
In Oakland’s case, the city was able to convince the judge that it had built enough temporary shelter to hold everyone displaced from the Wood Street camp. The city is building rudimentary tiny homes nearby that will be prioritized as temporary shelter for residents displaced from the encampment. Officials plan to open 30 beds in the tiny homes by Monday, and eventually ramp the site up to accommodate 100 people. Another 29 parking spaces with electrical hookups and bathrooms will open on Feb.
