Oakland won $14.8 million in state funding to turn a hotel into much-needed homeless housing, as Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office continues to award grants through its Homekey program.

The money will allow the city to buy and rehabilitate the Piedmont Place hotel, transforming it into 44 studios apartments, one two-bedroom unit and one studio unit for a property manager. The units will provide housing for people who have been homeless a long time, or are homeless and struggling with medical conditions that make it difficult for them to work.
