Veterans in East San Jose were temporarily moved from a substandard housing complex at 10 Kirk Ave. to a hotel in Milpitas while renovations are completed. Only nine veterans were relocated, with worries about their future return to the complex due to conflicting information from the managing nonprofit, Abode Services. While repairs on structural issues are underway, some veterans are being encouraged to find alternative housing despite their financial limitations. Santa Clara County has invested significantly in renovations to improve living conditions, which included addressing health hazards like mold and sewage problems.
"They are doing everything they can to make it as uncomfortable as possible to stay (at 10 Kirk Ave.)... I can't afford to be on my own."
"Santa Clara County purchased the facility in November 2023 for $14.5 million and began repairing the dilapidated building, fixing major issues including mold and sewage."
