OAKLAND’S TOP HOMELESSNESS OFFICIAL STEPS DOWN, AS CITY STRUGGLES WITH ONGOING
CRISIS

By Marisa Kendall | mkendall@bayareanewsgroup.com | Bay Area News Group
PUBLISHED: March 2, 2021 at 11:02 a.m. | UPDATED: March 2, 2021 at 11:13 a.m.

Oakland is losing its top official tasked with managing homelessness, at a time
when the city is struggling with an ongoing crisis of unhoused residents living
in cars, RVs and sprawling encampments.

Daryel Dunston, who was hired as Oakland’s first homelessness administrator in
February 2020, has accepted a new position at the San Francisco Foundation. His
last day with the city of Oakland will be Friday, according to city spokeswoman
Karen Boyd.

Dunston was in the midst of rolling out several new strategies to address
homelessness, including the city’s controversial new encampment management
policy. The city will look for a replacement for Dunston, Boyd said. But for
now, LaTonda Simmons, assistant city administrator, will take over oversight of
homelessness programs.

“All of that work will continue,” Boyd said.



Dunston did not respond to a request for comment.

Dunston had spearheaded efforts to implement the city’s encampment management
policy, which marks certain areas — including those near schools, homes,
businesses and public parks — mostly off-limits to camping. But enforcement of
the new policy, which City Council passed in October, has been slow. The policy
is set to be re-evaluated in April, and activists fighting for the rights of
unhoused people to camp on public land, likely will push for it to be scaled
back or abolished.

Dunston also was in the midst of getting the city’s new Commission on
Homelessness off the ground. The group, made up of volunteers who have personal
or professional experience with homelessness, includes Candice Elder of the East
Oakland Collective, Tomiquia Moss of All Home and Trent Rhorer, executive
director of San Francisco’s Human Services Agency. The commission had its first
meeting in December, but has been bogged down by mandatory trainings and other
procedural tasks. One of its first orders of business is supposed to be
reviewing the city’s Encampment Management Policy next month.

In an email to city officials and department directors, City Administrator Ed
Reiskin listed Dunston’s accomplishments, including implementing the city’s
first RV safe parking program and setting up a city trailer park for homeless
residents.

“I have immense respect for Daryel and want to thank him for his leadership and
significant contributions to Oakland,” Reiskin wrote. “We wish Daryel all the
best in his new endeavors.”



Oakland’s homelessness crisis has created significant tension within the city,
and programs and policies proposed by Dunston and others often have been met
with intense criticism — both from activists worried they will displace
vulnerable unhoused residents, and from housed neighbors upset they don’t do
enough to clean up encampments. Oakland reported its unhoused population grew by
nearly 50% between 2017 and 2019.

In December 2019, Assistant City Administrator Joe DeVries, who had taken the
lead on city homelessness programs, was shouted down during a City Council
meeting as he attempted to present a report on how the city manages homeless
encampments. He had proposed issuing citations as a way to prevent people from
camping in previously cleared areas. Activist Needa Bee called him a murderer.
When DeVries attempted to leave, he was accosted by activists.

DeVries stepped back from his work on homelessness, and now is the city’s
director of interdepartmental operations.

Dunston, who had replaced DeVries, is moving on to lead the San Francisco
Foundation’s Place Pathway program, which provides grants to people working on
affordable housing.

“The state of housing and homelessness in the Bay Area requires an emergency
response from all sectors, including philanthropy,” Fred Blackwell, CEO of the
San Francisco Foundation, wrote in an emailed statement. “Daryel is a former
firefighter, EMT and housing expert. We couldn’t be more excited to bring his
emergency lens to the critical need for safe and affordable housing for all in
our region.”
