A group of homeless mothers who were forcibly evicted from a vacant home they illegally occupied for nearly two months has reached an agreement for the sale of the property to a non-profit, Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf said
Monday.
The group, Moms 4 Housing, was evicted last week from the Magnolia Street home they occupied since November 18. The high-profile socially-motivated squatting effort had gained traction in a state with rising homelessness.Moms 4 Housing reached the agreement with the city of Oakland and Wedgewood Properties, Schaaf said.
— Moms 4 Housing January 20, 2020 Moms 4 Housing describes itself as a"collective of unhoused and insecurely housed mothers, organizing to reclaim vacant homes from real estate speculators," according to its website. The group praised the agreement as a victory for its cause. "This is what happens when we organize, y'all," the group said in a post on Twitter.
— Moms 4 Housing January 20, 2020 "This movement does not end today with us, with that house on Magnolia Street. We will not stop organizing and fighting until all unhoused folks who want shelter have shelter," Walker said. The Magnolia Street house had been vacant for two years, according to Walker. Wedgewood started the eviction process after the group moved in. More than 300 people gathered at the home to support the mothers the night before the eviction, Walker said.
