The city of Oakland began construction this week on a tiny home village at city-owned land on Lake Merritt.
The new tiny home village located at East 12th Street and 2nd Avenue is intended to temporarily house 65 people who are facing homelessness. It will provide a comprehensive set of social services to help residents transition to stable housing and health, according to Oakland officials.
The project comes from a partnership between the city of Oakland and the Housing Consortium of the East Bay. Together, they will manage the tiny homes, otherwise known as Pallet Shelters. The company that is building them, also called Pallet Shelter, has constructed other tiny home communities throughout San Jose and Los Angeles.

The Oakland City Council voted Monday to open a co-governed homeless encampment to provide shelter for 40 people in West Oakland making it potentially the second site that residents and service providers would operate together.
Officials also have plans for a co-governed encampment at East 12th Street and Second Avenue on a vacant lot.
The city will lease a vacant lot from Caltrans at Third and Peralta streets at no cost for three years and provide wooden-pallet shelters to residents as part of an effort to address its skyrocketing homelessness crisis.

However, a lot of co-op members were living with a degree of uncertainty over whether their leases would be renewed, since a lot of leases first signed in the late 1970s and early ’80s were rapidly coming to an end.
Gracen Chungath, a director of operations for the city, said they made it clear that no co-op members were going to be displaced, but the city wanted to make sure housing was going to be renewed and would be financially sustainable.
The framework approved Thursday would allow for new leases where rents for higher-income co-op members would be set at 25 per cent of the median Vancouver renters’ income, or 15 per cent below average area rents, whichever is less. And it would allow the city to offer subsidies for lower-income, rent guaranteed income units in co-ops, based on the benchmark of 30 per cent of household income. Both will require annual income testing.
