The City will continue to offer services and shelter alternatives to everyone who has been residing on this site, including Community Cabins, The Holland, the Safe RV site, and Family Front Door. Outreach teams have engaged about a dozen individuals who have been living on site to date, six accepted alternative shelter and another four accepted space at the Safe RV site, leaving approximately 3 unsheltered people who have so far declined offers of alternative shelter. To address the needs of the unsheltered people living on the City-owned right-of-way on Wood Street, the City has been conducting outreach for about a year, which intensified over the weeks leading up to the encampment operation in July and continued over the past month. Outreach & Services on City-owned Property The City of Oakland does not have jurisdictional authority to clear or manage encampments on land owned by other agencies, including Caltrans. The City’s operation this week is unrelated to Caltrans’ efforts to close encampments located on their property on Wood Street, which was paused by a court order issued on July 19, 2022. More details and a map of the area can be found here. This operation is a continuation of work that began the week of July 11 to remove structures and tons of debris from the City-owned right-of-way along Wood Street. This morning, the City of Oakland resumed clean-up operations on City-owned property on Wood Street between West Grand and 26 th Search Oakland.ca.gov Search? search icon Created with Sketch.Frequently Visited Departments See All Departments ![]()
