Oakland Unite Spending Plan
Oakland Unite is proud to present its proposed 2019-2021 Spending Plan.
To develop the framework and recommendations in this plan, residents living at the center of violence shared insights about what they need, and where existing supports fall short. Local and national experts also shared knowledge about effective models. Oakland Unite engaged deeply with this information, building on years of local experience and evaluation, and recommends the following investments to address trauma, support healing, and reduce violence.
