Berkeley Apologizes for Aggressive Encampment Sweeps
Berkeley is accelerating plans to more humanely deal with homelessness in the wake of a San Francisco Public Press report on a chaotic encampment raid in October, and city staffers say they will start collaborating with unhoused people and homeless advocates when planning to clean or clear large encampments. Several city departments are changing procedures in response to complaints from those living in encampments and their advocates, and from residential and commercial neighbors.
