Homeless advocates in Milpitas on Monday transformed city hall into a tent city to highlight the plight of the homeless and pressure Milpitas Mayor Rich Tran to come up with meaningful solutions to the crisis.
“They don’t like people living in the parks. They don’t like us parking in their neighborhoods. Well, we have to be somewhere. We have to be somewhere,” said unhoused Milpitas resident Lynn Shipman.
She fears the city is planning to crack down on the homeless encampment and impound the RVs and cars her homeless neighborhood live in. Homeless advocates say the crackdown on the encampment highlights the city’s cruel and capricious approach to dealing with the homeless — an attitude they attribute to Mayor Rich Tran.
Mayor Tran says he created a homeless task force last year and plans to present a comprehensive plan to address the crisis at Tuesday’s city council meeting.
