OAKLAND (KRON) — A tent city pilot program in Oakland is just about to end just as city officials get ready to launch another one.

The city argues that allowing the homeless to live in one area could give them better access to services, while also getting tents off sidewalks.

KRON4’s Philippe Djegal goes in-depth Wednesday night on what the city is hoping to accomplish.

Last October, Oakland turned a space underneath a freeway into a tent city as part of its “safe camping” pilot program.
