Homelessness – San Jose Inside

Santa Clara County OK’s $123M for 1,000 New Affordable Homes

The Board of Supervisors authorized $123 million in Measure A funds for hundreds of below-market-rate housing units in six local cities.

San Jose expects to have 80 tiny cabins built by next summer to house homeless people until they find a long-term place to stay.

San Jose has arrived at a fork in the road: we can either tax tech to build homes and transit, or we can recommit to a broken status quo.

It will take years before the tech company realizes its vision for the city’s core. But a key vote this week lays the groundwork.

Santa Clara County’s multi-agency All the Way Home campaign has housed 1,237 homeless veterans since 2015, according to a new report.

Maya Esparza had nearly caught up to D7 incumbent Tam Nguyen by Wednesday, trailing him this afternoon by a margin of just 13 votes.

A residential high-rise being proposed in downtown San Jose is vying for a few million bucks in city subsidies.

Innovative thinking and political will must be combined in order to address and eliminate homelessness.

Veteran’s Day gives us the opportunity to reflect on how we can help former military members right here in our own backyard.

The rematch between Tam Nguyen and Maya Esparza could pave the path for how the city tackles its most pressing issues in coming years.
