-help communities express themselves and find/explore the power of the visual voice

- help share the unique story of each community

-develop neighborhood  beautification projects and reclaim public spaces

-teach a high quality process of fine-art making in the creation of a community mural

"Housing Justice" Mural

"Housing Justice" was created to bring light to the rising homeless crisis in Oakland. Oakland’s homeless population rose 47% between 2017 and 2019, one of the biggest two-year increases of any California city, according to the San Fransisco Chronicle.

In the count taken in January using federal guidelines, Oakland had 861 sheltered people and 3,210 unsheltered people, bringing the estimated number of homeless people to 4,071. In 2017, Oakland had 859 sheltered people and 1,902 unsheltered residents, a total of 2,761.

The Bay Area Mural Program is committed to neighborhood beautification projects as well as community building.  This mural was painted at 3205 Chestnut Street in West Oakland with the surrounding community.  The image was inspired by muralist John Biggers and his legendary Shotgun Houses.
