A federal judge has ordered the city and Berkeley Homeless Union to spend a day walking local streets together to find tent sites for up to 23 people before their encampment is cleared.

Today's piece is a close look at Thursday's hearing. We'll continue to follow the story.

[Berkeley must hit the streets to find homeless tent sites, judge says“Give me a solution. How do we avert chaos?” U.S. District Judge Edward Chen told a city attorney on Thursday.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/8e/3b/8e3bb516-9b88-46c2-aa85-566ed9c3647c/content/images/icon/The-Berkeley-Scanner_Icon_Color-55b02a3b-980b-4fa0-9aec-623b32e7d301.jpg)The Berkeley ScannerEmilie Raguso![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/8e/3b/8e3bb516-9b88-46c2-aa85-566ed9c3647c/content/images/thumbnail/DSC04962-1-1-1386920f-e9ee-4f96-8f3d-0ab6bc6a55c3.jpg)](https://www.berkeleyscanner.com/2026/08/15/community/berkeley-harrison-homeless-camp-tent-survey/)

NB: Today's story clarifies that disabled residents themselves are likely not part of the city's upcoming tent survey. You'll see in the story why that was a point of confusion for participants in the hearing itself.
