California will eliminate a large homeless site outside an Oakland Home Depot next month — roughly six months after the city announced it would shut down the encampment, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
Residents – estimated to number between 40 and 100 – live in makeshift homes, vehicles and tents at the camp, which appeared three years ago and was toured by former presidential candidate Julian Castro back in September, the outlet said. People living there reportedly come and go, with some residents serving as unofficial leaders of the site.
City officials told the outlet those homeless will be offered shelter beds or space at a community cabin site, estimated to be completed in March. The people living in RV’s will reportedly be moved to a “safe RV parking” site at a city-owned lot starting Monday.
