Oakland Communities United for Equity and Justice

Oakland Communities United for Equity & Justice (OCUEJ), through our flagship Self-Help

Hunger Program (SHHP), addresses social, health, and economic pressures affecting low-

income, displacement-vulnerable, and unhoused North Oakland residents. We provide direct

services in a community advocacy and empowerment framework.

Services include: nutritional support; microloans to meet basic expenses; assistance with

shelter & housing placements; holistic health treatments and referrals to other community

medical and mental health resources; transportation to needed services; job-readiness and

work experience opportunities; and culture/arts/community-building gatherings showcasing

Indigenous, African-American, Latinx, and Asian-American traditions and practitioners from

Oakland.
