In addition to The Village in Oakland, there are a few groups in our city that also serve the homeless. However, we don’t trust all organizations that supposedly serve the unhoused.
As you know thru experience, many of the homeless non-profits and city of oakland services are poverty pimps, opportunists, bullies and abusive, are really don’t help but cause more harm, disrespect, anxiety and depression.
Are you currently unhoused in Oakland or Berkeley and in need of support? Below are a list of organizations, resources and services that unhoused members and leaders of The Village in Oakland have turned to for support or worked with in the past. We trust these organizations listed below and want to share with you:
