skin with alameda county’s health care for the homeless presented their progam’s letter to the county board of super. healthcare for the homeless provided health services Alameda county’s unheltered residents. according to a report they released in 2015 based on their annual intake, there were 9,000 homeless folks that time in Oakland. libby says there’s only 1,7000. the county count in point says there is 2,700. based on un being in the streets we think health care for the homeless is closer to the corrupt numbers, and given that we know that the curbside popuaion has increased since 2015 we think its safe to estimate we really talking about 15,000 unsheltered in Oakland.
