Thank you. We are sending out our homeless operation team to offer services to the occupant.

This really wonderful area has barely been open more than a year! My dog and I walk in that area frequently.

Some of my friends bitterly joked that Emeryville had set up a really nice area for encampments, and this is basically happening. Please clear it quickly or the problem will only get normalized and grow both in size, severity, and attention. Refusal of services should not give them permission to maintain an illegal encampment.

Thank you for your comment. It is currently not illegal to be homeless in Emeryville but if you think it should be please bring these concerns to the city council where there is a path towards creating local codes to make it illegal to be homeless in Emeryville. We will continue to offer services as we create a plan to clear that area within the law so we don't open ourselves up to a lawsuit, unfortunately that is often not a quick process. Thank you for your concern, I am sorry this has made your dog walk unpleasant.

Any update?

Thank you for reporting. The issue has been addressed.

Thanks

Thanks for fixing this request!
