The Oakland City Council voted Monday to open a co-governed homeless encampment to provide shelter for 40 people in West Oakland making it potentially the second site that residents and service providers would operate together.
Officials also have plans for a co-governed encampment at East 12th Street and Second Avenue on a vacant lot.
The city will lease a vacant lot from Caltrans at Third and Peralta streets at no cost for three years and provide wooden-pallet shelters to residents as part of an effort to address its skyrocketing homelessness crisis.
