Homeless deaths on the streets surge in 2023

By Lynda Carson - December 22, 2023

Oakland - All too often in Oakland, I run across a candlelight vigil as I am walking down the street, being a grim reminder that life is short on the bloody streets of Oakland for the unfortunates who no longer can sing or dance their way through life anymore..... What a world!

During 2023, reportedly a whopping 420 unhoused and homeless people in San Francisco who cannot sing, dance, or get stoned anymore were mourned recently in a vigil.

A reflection of the homelessness and the unhoused crisis locally reveals that in 2023, reportedly there were 80 people who died in Marin County who were unhoused. Plus 201 deaths of the unhoused in San Jose, and reportedly there have been around 122 homeless/unhoused deaths in Santa Cruz County, and around 200 deaths in Sacramento.

Indeed, times are very grim, and apparently in Alameda County to enter the afterlife, if you are dead and need a death certificate to prove it, each copy of your death certificate will cost you $26.00. Just in case, a 2021 Alameda County, Homeless Mortality Report is available by clicking here.

Additionally, a Homeless Death Review Committee in California has been authorized for creation that may assist those with a morbid curiosity to identify the root causes of death among homeless individuals.
