Building Opportunities for Self-Sufficiency (BOSS) has decided to stop managing two Oakland homeless shelters one month ahead of schedule, citing unresolved issues despite the city's resolution of a $1 million payment dispute. The city is working to provide emergency support for the remaining 40 residents as the lease for the shelters on private property expires by year's end. Originally opened with state funding, these shelters faced challenges in transitioning residents to permanent housing due to a lack of affordability and rising disrepair complaints from residents during their stay.
The operator of two Oakland homeless shelters, BOSS, is ending its management a month early amid unresolved issues, leaving 40 residents to find new housing.
Despite resolving payment issues with BOSS, the city faces difficulties as the shelters are situated on private property, with a lease expiring by year-end.
