First-time homelessness spiked across the South Bay.
Unhoused people walk in the homeless encampment along Coyote Creek near Old Oakland Road on May 11, 2023, in San Jose, Calif. Last year, Santa Clara County helped move more than 2,500 homeless households into permanent housing — a record high. The bad news? About twice as many fell into homelessness in 2023, many for the first time.
Another worrying statistic: The nearly 4,300 households that became homeless represent a 24% spike from 2022. Until last year, the annual total had been on a downward trend since 2019, when at least 4,751 became homelessness. The new report only accounts for households that sought help from one of the county’s roughly 80 service providers, meaning the latest numbers aren’t a complete snapshot of local homelessness., taken in January 2023, just over 9,900 people were living outdoors, in vehicles or other places not meant for habitation, or in homeless shelters. That was a 1% dip from the year before.
For Desiré Campusano, 33, that aid was crucial in keeping her housed after an emergency forced her to temporarily care for two young family members — an infant and a toddler — in a one-bedroom apartment in Milpitas.
