Community centers as emergency shelters

Summary

We will create safe and green community centers, care and shelter facilities distributed across the city. These facilities can provide overnight sheltering, food distribution, and other services to those in need, while providing essential services on a daily basis to thousands of Berkeley residents, including seniors and youth, creating critical, multi-benefit facilities in our community.
