A homeless encampment with approximately 25 families is located just behind Parks Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church at 476 34th St., in West Oakland. Since the arrival of the encampment there have been fires, with smoke entering the church and setting off fire alarms, dogs chasing elderly parishioners, stolen mail and tithes, and a murder.
