2 West Oakland homeless shelters could close at end of month
Briefly

The executive director of BOSS plans to shut down Oakland's Community Cabins and RV safe parking site due to the city's persistent payment delays. With 90 homeless residents reliant on these shelters, the situation remains dire as funding issues threaten operations. Executive Director Donald Frazier has highlighted the financial strain, citing delays in payments since September 2024, exacerbated by weather conditions and maintenance needs. The city has acknowledged ongoing discussions with BOSS, yet uncertainty looms over resident wellbeing if the shelters cease operations at the end of the month.
The conditions that have been created at Wood Street Community Cabins as a result of non-payment from the City of Oakland is concerning, leading to service disruption.
Executive Director Donald Frazier notes that city payment delays are seriously affecting the ability to support the shelter residents and staff.
