Oakland: Homeless services audit find city not prepared to deal with crisis

OAKLAND, Calif. - An audit of homeless services in Oakland found that a team charged with closing and cleaning homeless encampments was not adequately prepared to deal with the problem and lacked an efficient strategy for dealing with the growth of the camps. 
That's according to City Auditor Courtney Ruby, who will present an informational report on homeless services to the City Council's Life Enrichment Committee on Monday afternoon.
For several years, city residents have identified homelessness as the most pressing issue facing Oakland. The last Alameda County Point-in-Time count of homeless people, which was completed in 2019, found that between 2015 and 2019, the number of homeless gpeople living in Oakland increased by 86 percent.
