Oakland officials intend to close two homeless shelters by June 30, concerned over a lease expiration and cleanup. Nonprofit operator BOSS warns of possible closure as early as March 31, attributed to $1 million in unpaid fees from the city. While Oakland acknowledges the financial issues, it is working to resolve them and extend shelter operations temporarily. However, city leaders have not confirmed plans for shelter residents' relocation, raising concerns about potential homelessness for many individuals following the shelters' closure.
"The operator, Building Opportunities for Self-Sufficiency (BOSS), has warned it could be forced to pull out of the adjacent sites on March 31 due to missed payments from the city to manage the shelters."
"Solutions are in swift development to bring the city's outstanding payments to BOSS up to current, as well as identifying solutions to support the programs' operations to the end of June, officials said."
