"A city audit of San Jose's homelessness services released in October found some nonprofits did not meet performance targets or reporting requirements, and the Housing Department failed to require corrective action plans. These findings echo a 2024 state audit which showed San Jose could not identify all of its expenditures on homeless support, nor does it adequately measure the effectiveness of its systems."
"PATH did not meet targets for referrals to housing and the number of people it conducted outreach with, citing a lack of workers. LifeMoves did not meet case management goals at the Santa Teresa safe parking site, which the nonprofit said was due to hiring issues. HomeFirst failed to meet its goals at the Bernal and Rue Ferrari tiny home sites, including not providing life skills workshops to residents for multiple quarters. It cited having a limited amount of staff as the reason."
A city audit of San Jose's homelessness services released in October found some nonprofits did not meet performance targets or reporting requirements, and the Housing Department failed to require corrective action plans. The audit echoed a 2024 state audit that showed San Jose could not identify all expenditures on homeless support and lacked adequate measures of system effectiveness. The city auditor recommended improving grant monitoring, updating oversight procedures, and setting consistent target goals. Examined providers included PATH, LifeMoves, and HomeFirst, which missed targets and cited staffing and hiring issues as causes.
