Read—and listen to—the whole “Berkeley, 94700” project online at www.berkeley94700.org. Katherine Chen and Henry DeMarco graduated from UC Berkeley in 2021. They met in an English course on the literature of California and devised Berkeley, 94700 as a means of recognizing unhoused communities as neighborhoods. Today, they live and work across the Bay in San Francisco Berkeley, 94700 is informed by extensive archival research, literature review, and commitment to journalistic integrity. Interviews and photographs were recorded and taken with explicit consent, with final editorial decisions made by participating project collaborators. The timeline we constructed of Here There relied heavily on excellent reporting from Berkeleyside, Street Spirit, the San Francisco Chronicle, and other local outlets. We gained invaluable background knowledge for the project through conversations with former and current camp members, and community supporters. Thank you so much to Toan, Ben, Sam, Tim, Alex, Miss Richie, Stacey, James, Kent, Leslie, Julio, Paul, Tony, Dan, and Amanda, for allowing us to record and share your thoughts and experiences.
