Oakland hasabout 3,000 homeless people, according to the East Oakland Community Project, a nonprofitorganization that helps house people who live on the street; San Francisco has about 6,700.

44岁的克勒恩说：“这并不符合我们心中家的概念。他在2011年开始制作和赠送由再造材料建成的活动屋。根据帮助无家可归者的非营利性组织东奥克兰社区项目(East Oakland Community Project)提供的数据，奥克兰大约有3000名无家可归的人;旧金山大约有6700名。
