OAKLAND (BCN)
A miracle on Broadway is ready to receive formerly unsheltered Oakland residents later this month, city officials said Wednesday.
Formerly unsheltered families and seniors will start moving into Clifton Hall at 5276 Broadway, a Project Homekey property, on Dec. 28, Mayor Libby Schaaf and others announced at a news briefing. Project Homekey is a state grant program to protect unsheltered residents who are impacted by COVID-19 and at risk of serious illness.
More than 100 unsheltered residents of Oakland will have either permanent housing or short-term housing in the building, which was once a residence hall on the Oakland campus of the California College of the Arts.
