City officials in Oakland approved a new policy that will prohibit homeless people from setting up tents in parks or near homes, businesses, schools and some churches in the city that has seen a recent spike in the homeless population.
Mayor Libby Schaaf said the policy, which will start being enforced in January, establishes Oakland's first citywide rules on homeless encampments. She called it "a compassionate response to an unacceptable condition.”
It is now 8th August 2021.
