Thirty-eight out of 61 residents of the now closed 2nd Street and Cedar houseless encampment have been sheltered as a part of the City of Berkeley’s cash-for-RV buyback project, spearheaded by the Homeless Response Team. Four of the encampment’s former residents have found permanent housing, two have entered an institutional setting and another has returned to being unhoused.
