New permits have been filed to expand the existing Youth Spirit Artworks’ tiny house project at 633 Hegenberger Road near the Coliseum in Oakland. The project would construct an office structure, a two-story residential building, and upgrades to existing community facilities.
The two-story structure will feature 24 units, with twelve units on each floor. Each micro-unit will include a single bed and desk. The complex will be made of mass timber parts from a prefabricated building system. Fabric Workshop is responsible for the design.

Youth Spirit Artworks is a non-profit oriented on housing, arts, and job training for transition youths aged 16 through 25 who are “unemployed, unstably housed, low-income, disabled, in foster car, or involved with the juvenile justice system,” according to the organization’s self-bio. Alongside the housing village, YSA runs an art studio in Berkeley.
The YSA Tiny House Village was built with 26 units in 2020. The property is located next to the 2020-opened Operation HomeBase, a 67-trailer campus led by the City of Oakland and the State of California. The trailer program includes facilities to provide assistance for medically vulnerable residents aged 65 or older.
