On Tuesday, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors voted to authorize a proposal for a countywide state of emergency on homelessness.
The authorization comes as the homeless population in the county has jumped 22% since 2019 with nearly 10,000 people experiencing homelessness.
"I don't know where my mom and dad went," he said, his voice trailing off."They had to go back to their home country, and I don't know where that was." "With everything that's been happening at the county to try to address homelessness, we still see a tremendous increase in the number of people who are sheltering on our streets every night, and it goes up every year. Right now, especially, because we are at the end of most of the pandemic-era rental protections, there's largely expected to be an eviction tsunami," explained Erin Armstrong, Senior Policy Advisor for Supervisor Nate Miley.
"This action doesn't unlock any money," Armstrong clarified."What it does is declare that state of emergency and ask county staff to develop an emergency response to homelessness, reporting back to the Board of Supervisors in 60 days. Some of the things that this could unlock would end up in the emergency response, including additional resources from our state and federal partners.
