Courthouse News Service: Oakland again eyes Army base for temporary housing of homeless residents
OAKLAND, Calif. (CN) — A major homelessness crisis reignited disagreement between Oakland’s elected leaders and city employees Tuesday, amid public outcry over Caltrans clearing the city’s largest homeless encampment and a recent audit showing mismanagement of homeless services.
As of Tuesday, Oakland is again exploring creating a temporary housing site on land at the city’s former Army base. A report on how to do this, the second on the site requested by city employees this year, is expected within the month.
