"Following acrimony between San Jose and Santa Clara County earlier this year over the best approach to getting thousands of unhoused residents off the streets, a new proposal from Supervisor Betty Duong - which has the backing of Mayor Matt Mahan - would expand county health services at the city's interim housing sites and better integrate the jurisdictions' process for getting people into permanent homes."
"If approved by the Board of Supervisors next Tuesday, county officials will work to expand their role in providing physical and mental health services at San Jose-funded shelters, interim housing, and safe parking sites. The proposal would continue to expand behavioral health bed capacity and integrate the city's shelter system into the county's processes for getting people into permanent supportive housing."
Supervisor Betty Duong proposed expanding county health services at San Jose-funded shelters, interim housing sites, and safe parking locations, with Mayor Matt Mahan's support. County officials would expand their role in providing physical and mental health services on-site and increase behavioral health bed capacity. The plan includes integrating San Jose's shelter system into the county's processes for placing people into permanent supportive housing and coordinating efforts to move unhoused residents into permanent homes. The strategy emphasizes meeting people where they are and providing access to services tailored to individual needs. The Board of Supervisors will consider the proposal next Tuesday.
