In an article in last week’s edition on conditions facing tenants at Sojourner Truth Manor in North Oakland, the Oakland Post inadvertently failed to include comments submitted by HumanGood, the nonprofit company that manages the property and other sites in Oakland.

The Post regrets the error and is offering the company space to present its response to tenant concerns. In addition, here is the statement HumanGood staff submitted last week:

“Our residents and team members are our highest priority, and we understand concerns regarding communication and security due to reports of increased crime activity. Before we took over management last October, the community was in need of serious repairs and rehabilitation, and we continue to hold resident meetings with translators available to share information and updates and answer questions.

“Our team is working with regulatory agencies to conduct repairs in the community room and its adjacent areas, and we look forward to more rehabilitation projects in the future to help improve the community. Going forward, our team will help ensure that progress on our work is shared more often with our residents to help address any questions or concerns they may have.”
