The Homelessness Strategic Action Plan (HSAP) for the City of Oakland aims to reduce unsheltered homelessness by 50% over a five-year period, targeting 2031. It proposes a Five Point Plan centered on: Targeted Prevention to stem new entries into homelessness; strengthening Access and Coordination for outreach and service delivery; improving Encampment Engagement and Neighborhood Health; increasing access to Dignified Interim Housing; and creating more Dedicated Permanent Affordable Housing.
