Homelessness is a class and racial justice issue. 70% of the homeless individuals in Oakland are black and 38% report having at least one disabling condition.

Thousands of unsheltered people live in Oakland. Many are crowded into unsafe and unsanitary encampments from which they may be evicted as a result of the City’s new policies. Kehilla’s Homeless Action Committee believes it’s time for a more vigorous response by our community in keeping with our core Jewish values.

You can help!

• Donate rain gear, warm clothing, and bedding to the Kehilla Homeless Depot.
• Support Love and Justice in the Streets with a cash donation.
