Mayor Mahan plans to focus on four goals in his first State of the City speech on Saturday: Reducing crime, ending homelessness for folks on the street, cleaning up San Jose and improving investment opportunities.
This year, Mahan plans to focus on four goals in his speech: Reducing crime, ending homelessness for folks on the street, cleaning up San Jose and improving investment opportunities.
"I built my budget message around these and we in fact we passed a budget that emphasizes these four pillars," Mahan said."I'm proud of the progress we've made this year in reducing unsheltered homelessness - in fact the number of people living outside is down 10% year over year and we're just getting started," Mahan said."What I like about what Mahan has done, is he's treated it like the crisis it is.
Agape Silicon Valley is 100% volunteer-based. On the last Saturday morning of each month, the organization delivers food, water and supplies to different unhoused communities. Langton said they also create an intake form to help connect those who are unhoused to benefits or resources."I'm surprised and shocked on how difficult it is for an unhoused person to go through all that paperwork, and all those steps and procedures to get into housing.
The mayor said right now the things we must do is ensure that our neighborhoods are safe and that everyone lives indoors."Speeding up permitting and inspections and being a simpler, easier place to do business so our small businesses can thrive, employers can move into San Jose and we can grow our tax base which is what we need to do if we want to do everything else that we hope to do," Mahan said.
