San Jose is launching its first sanctioned homeless encampment at 1157 E. Taylor St. to provide temporary housing for 56 individuals. Designed as a navigation center, the site will offer amenities such as meals, showers, and case management, aiming to relocate participants within 30 days to more permanent solutions. The initiative is projected to cost $2 million annually, with 24/7 security in place. Mayor Matt Mahan emphasizes the need for diverse, effective solutions to address homelessness, which has left many without essential services.
The city will implement a no encampment zone near the site on both sides of Coyote Creek to manage the homeless population effectively.
The goal is to move people to temporary housing within 30 days, ensuring they have access to meals, showers, and case management.
