12 16-0698 Subject: Progress Of Implementation To Aid Homeless Individuals Residing In Oakland
From: Councilmember Kalb
Recommendation: Receive A Report And Refer Select Recommendations For Addressing Health, Safety And Services Related To Street Homelessness For Funding Consideration In The City's Biennial FY 2017-2019 Budget Deliberations
I am John Sander of 12th & Pine St, West Oakland.
Concerned about Wood Street from 7th St to Emeryville
Homeless encampments on Wood Street and throughout the Prescott neighborhood.
Deplorable conditions & threats to public health & safety.
Trash accumulating in these encampments.
$250k annual budget to deal with homelessness is not enough to address the epidemic that is plaguing Oakland. We need much more funding and strong City leadership.
We need a Homelessness Czar to solve the problem.
This will only get worse if it is not dealt with now!
I'm in support of enacting the recommendations in this report.
