City of Oakland Home
Special Initiatives
 
In addition to the programs for children, youth, seniors and families, the Department of Human Services develops and implements a variety of activities to meet the changing needs of Oakland’s diverse population. Historically, the City Council has turned to the Department of Human Services to provide expertise for far-reaching initiatives, including the Homeless Plan and its 5-Year Child Care Plan, and the Violence Prevention Plan.

In this section you will find information about the special programs to support Oakland’s low-income residents, to provide services to parolees and their families, to improve neighborhoods, and to reduce the violence that is endemic to some Oakland communities.
