Santa Clara is implementing a two-year work plan aimed at reducing homelessness and assisting unsheltered residents. The plan includes 34 initiatives, such as establishing a 90-bed family shelter and a safe parking program for vehicle residents. Key actions include forming a two-person outreach team and collaborating with WeHOPE to provide hotel accommodations for the homeless. The city plans to increase shelter beds to 136 by 2031, supported by $25 million from the state. Ongoing progress on goals include funding for rental assistance and mobile shower services.
While the council plans to vote for a one-year outreach contract with WeHOPE, it will also open five hotel rooms for homeless individuals to stay up to 30 days.
Santa Clara is aiming to add 136 shelter beds by 2031, partially through a homeless shelter at Benton Street and Lawrence Expressway with 90 beds.
