Despite a tough fiscal year, the San Jose City Council unanimously passed a multi-billion dollar budget."The most significant and strategic investment in addressing unsheltered homelessness in the history of our city," Mahan said.
Roughly six months ago, the city was told to clear homeless encampments near its waterways or face hefty fines from the Regional Water Quality Control Board.Funds from the property transfer tax that were slated to be for affordable housing. Some will now go to more immediate solutions. "We have a pathway now to be in compliance our storm water permit and the clean water act, but to do that we have to follow through on the investments we've outlined in this budget," Mahan said.
Over the next year, it's estimated 1,200 people will be moved off the streets and into alternative sleeping sites; 600 into temporary shelter, 500 to new safe sleeping sites and 100 to new safe parking spots.Homeless advocates tell us they're not a fan of congregate shelters, but would like to see more transitional housing options."A lot of my colleagues and peers that do advocacy work don't agree with me on this. They want the money earmarked solely for permanent housing.
