The End of Wood Street: Inside the Struggle for Stability, Housing on the Margins of the Bay Area

The End of Wood Street: Inside the Struggle for Stability, Housing on the Margins of the Bay Area

KQED's Erin Baldassari has spent months reporting on what was once the largest settlement of unhoused people in Northern California. The city of Oakland has recently evicted some 300 people who were living in tents and trailers along Wood Street, some of whom had been there for a decade. Now, as residents scatter, many are mourning the loss of the community they had built. Baldassari follows two residents as they navigate the last year at the settlement, weathering eviction notices, sweeps and ultimately being forced to move on. It’s a nuanced story about why local and state policies towards encampments like Wood Street often fail to get people into permanent housing. Plus, what could officials across the state learn from the community at Wood Street about the kind of resources and services unhoused people need to successfully move on from encampments?
