Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 18:52:39 GMT

Months after an investigation by the Bay Area News Group found Oakland was failing to help most of the city’s tiny home residents get out of homelessness, the city is deploying a $1 million federal grant in an effort to correct the problems.The $1.03 million fund will assist the city in helping people move from the tiny homes — small, rudimentary cabins designed as temporary shelters — to permanent housing and, hopefully, stay there. To start, the city will use the additional resources at just one of its seven tiny home sites.The move comes after a four-month Bay-Area-wide investigation by this news organization into the efficacy of tiny homes as a solution to the homelessness crisis. It found that residents at the city’s four “community cabin” sites — where residents live in bare-bones, shed-like dwellings and share portable toilets — move into permanent housing at a rate of just 28%.

They have Giannis Antetokounmpo and the first-place Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday and Western Conference rival Phoenix Suns shortly after on Monday before they set off on the dreaded road again.No team in the NBA has a more drastic split between home and away records than the Warriors: They’re 27-7 at Chase Center and 7-27 on the road this season. Sitting in a three-way tie for the sixth seed as of Friday night, a trip home to play two of the league’s top teams could either galvanize a frustrated Golden State locker room or send them into an extended losing streak they can’t afford with just 14 games remaining in the regular season.“Got more games in the schedule to keep figuring it out,” Steph Curry said after their loss to Memphis on Thursday. “Part of ho...
