We had to have someone tear our home down because we couldn’t keep up with the repairs.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That happened in 1961. In the '70s, Lee saw Chinatown go downhill. That's when the streets around the community were widened to make it faster for cars to get to the highway.

That’s two years accumulating things like clothes and a lot of stuff,” said Mario Clemente. “We all respect one another. No fights or violence. We just want community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite hundreds of millions of dollars and decades of fighting homelessness, the Bay Area is struggling to find ways to build programs that work. The same month San Francisco received $100 million to reduce chronic homelessness — its largest ever private donation for the cause — this city-sanctioned encampment in Oakland was cleared out, bringing attention to the ever-present long-term problem that remains: no permanent housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”hqslKgOpS6jpmleE4Btf07maAey57CrZ”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland began piloting the six-month $130,000 project last October. A small section of street was blocked off to create the tent community. The city and county partnered to bring health services like portable bathrooms and garbage pickup, while trying to find around 40 people housing through case management. But more people kept showing up, said Joe DeVries, assistant to the city administrator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We made it very clear to the individuals that had moved in that we didn’t have housing for them, we didn’t have intensive case management services for them,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of the original residents, around 30 of them are currently in housing thanks to the city, according to Councilwoman Lynette Gibson McElhaney, who represents District 1, where the sanctioned camp is located. Some of the remaining residents will receive temporary shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The camp wasn’t intended to be a permanent solution. But McElhaney said the failure to replicate the model elsewhere, the inability to manage extra residents moving in, and two recent fires that caused the city to close the camp is a “sad” ending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not an elegant ending.

That’s two years accumulating things like clothes and a lot of stuff,” said Mario Clemente. “We all respect one another. No fights or violence. We just want community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite hundreds of millions of dollars and decades of fighting homelessness, the Bay Area is struggling to find ways to build programs that work. The same month San Francisco received $100 million to reduce chronic homelessness — its largest ever private donation for the cause — this city-sanctioned encampment in Oakland was cleared out, bringing attention to the ever-present long-term problem that remains: no permanent housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

A small section of street was blocked off to create the tent community. The city and county partnered to bring health services like portable bathrooms and garbage pickup, while trying to find around 40 people housing through case management. But more people kept showing up, said Joe DeVries, assistant to the city administrator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We made it very clear to the individuals that had moved in that we didn’t have housing for them, we didn’t have intensive case management services for them,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of the original residents, around 30 of them are currently in housing thanks to the city, according to Councilwoman Lynette Gibson McElhaney, who represents District 1, where the sanctioned camp is located.

Now she is safe and warm in an Oakland apartment, thanks to a KQED listener.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brittany Jones is a student at Laney College and was homeless when KQED reporter Laura Klivans began talking with her as part of the series \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/12/08/homelessu-a-college-students-life-without-shelter/\">Homeless U\u003c/a>, which explored the lives of three homeless college students, and the growing awareness of this previously invisible population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I first met Jones in the early part of December when I began photographing her going about her days at school, visiting her storage unit and sleeping on BART. Even with the situation she was in, Jones always had a positive and motivated outlook. She could laugh at life and was determined to keep pushing herself to finish school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/6WFkcQgqhAY\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones’ story was published as part of the Bay Area media collaboration \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/series/sf-homeless-project/\">#SFHomelessProject\u003c/a> on Dec. 7. After her story aired, KQED began receiving offers from listeners to provide rooms, storage spaces and anything else they thought might help Jones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a wonderful gesture of kindness, one listener went so far as to pay for an apartment for Jones. Her hope is that this will give Jones the opportunity to focus on her schooling and find a part-time job. Within a week, Jones was safely moved into her new Oakland apartment and is settling in for a wonderful holiday season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the help of this kind gift, Jones continues to work toward her academic goals and has high hopes for her spring semester classes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11230146\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11230146\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/161118_BrittanyJones_bhs01-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Brittany Jones is a student at Laney College in Oakland.
