Beautiful San Pablo Berkeley

07/21/2026

My data shows that 45% of Berkeley's homeless housing/shelter units or beds are located within the formerly redlined half of council District 1 (along University ave, and along San Pablo and westward).

I am now asking for community assistance in trying to complete my personal information sheet on locations of homeless housing units and services, as the city has refused to supply this information from 2020-mid last year (my last inquiry).

I have tried to use this information to push the city to increase community improvements and services, and support for small businesses in areas adjacent to the homeless housing/services, but have been met with resistance to have the city even share or acknowledge homeless housing/service locations.

If anyone reading this has details that are left out of my data sheet, please help me update my information in the comments, or by message, and I will update the list.

Here is a rough google map showing the data from the above google sheet, but needs updating.
