San Jose officials have initiated a project to establish a 200-unit tiny home community at VTA's Cerone Yard aimed at addressing the homelessness crisis. This interim housing project is part of a broader initiative that has already facilitated over 1,400 placements this year. Mayor Matt Mahan emphasized the urgency needed to address homelessness while highlighting state support for funding. The anticipated opening in October marks a significant milestone in San Jose's efforts to provide safe and dignified housing for vulnerable populations.
"If it takes this long to open 200 beds for those who are suffering and far too often dying on our streets, we are not moving with the urgency this crisis demands," San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan said.
"The Cerone interim housing site is proof that when we push, when we fight for urgency... we can create safe, dignified places for people to call home."
"San Jose has continued to invest heavily in homelessness solutions, adding more than 1,400 placements... and hotel and motel conversions."
"The tiny home community would open in October, making it the fastest tiny home construction to date."
