Best Camping Cabin Daly City Near Me

4worldlovers: Oakland, CA – Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf today joined with state and local government officials, private-sector partners, and service providers to announce the opening of the City’s fifth Community Cabin site located on Mandela Parkway in West Oakland at the Emeryville border.

Community Cabin sites are an emergency intervention designed to serve as a temporary bridge from the sidewalk to services, from the street to housing. The model has been an effective and compassionate intervention focused on increasing people’s health, stability, dignity, and safety while service providers intensively work with people to help end their unsheltered status.

This new site illustrates the power of regional collaboration and partnership:

The cities of Oakland and Emeryville have combined resources to address the encampments that straddle the border between the cities

Caltrans has made the site available to the City for a $1 per month lease. AB 3139 (Bonta) allows Caltrans to lease State highway property for emergency shelter to the City of Oakland for up to ten parcels for $1 per month. This is consistent with Governor Newsom’s directive that public lands be made available to address the homelessness crisis.

Corporate foundations—Target, Sutter Health, and the Oakland Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce—have provided funding for the site, and the Home Depot Foundation has provided funding, building supplies, and dozens of associates from local Home Depot stores who volunteered their time and talents building ADA-accessible ramps and decks for the cabins.

“The Mandela site represents an unprecedented collaboration between two neighboring cities and the state of California to address the homelessness crisis,” Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf said. “We all see, feel, and experience the suffering of homelessness in our communities and I’m proud our regional leaders have come together for the first time to provide emergency shelter in a compassionate manner.”

Emeryville Mayor Ally Medina said: “Regional problems require regional solutions. As part of our ongoing commitment to address homelessness, we are glad to partner with the City of Oakland on the Mandela Community Cabin site, where unsheltered residents will receive direct services. We are also pleased that the State’s budget will allocate more of the same funds that made this project possible, as the housing crisis is a statewide issue that we will need to work together to tackle.”

“Oakland is our Bay Area home and today we’re celebrating an important milestone in this collaborative effort to help develop innovative solutions to address homelessness,” said Caltrans Bay Area Director Tony Tavares. “We previously committed to providing opportunities for employment for individuals in transitional housing programs. Today, we’re committing 10 additional positions for our Oakland residents as they bridge into the next chapter of their lives.”

The Mandela location was chosen in response to the persistent public health and safety hazards at two large, nearby encampments along the Oakland/Emeryville border: 1) 35th & Magnolia and 2) Hollis & West MacArthur. Outreach teams have conducted a thorough census of the homeless population at these sites and there is space at the Mandela site to accommodate everyone from these encampments. Residents of these encampments will be offered space at the Mandela Community Cabins, and then the encampments will be closed.

The Mandela Community Cabins site will be twice as large as the other Community Cabins sites and will serve 76 people in two distinct sections, each serving 38 people. The Mandela site will be the first Community Cabin site to offer single cabin accommodations to a few people in each section, based on need. The site will open next week and is expected to fill up by mid-August.

Service providers will provide ongoing support at the site including: Operation Dignity and Lava Mae, a mobile shower provider.

This double-sized site will cost $1.7 million per year to operate ($850,000 per section). Funds to operate each site come from the California State Homeless Emergency Aid Program (HEAP).

At the back of the site there was enough space left for the City to also develop a small Safe RV Parking Area that will be opened at a later date, after the cabins have been launched. That space can accommodate up to 17 RVs and will be reserved for people already living in RVs in the area.

The park offers superlative hiking, picnicking, wildlife watching. Up top, on most weekends volunteers at the East Peak Visitor Center provide information, sell merchandise and snacks. Volunteers at the nearby Gravity Car Barn relate the stories of the old Mount Tamalpais Scenic Railway.
