""One Branham Lane was designed to be converted into permanent housing. My recommendation for this conversion is in line with the site's intended purpose," Campos told San José Spotlight."
""The recent and upcoming change in operator provides a clear opportunity to move in that direction and add the long-term housing our system is currently missing.""
""The state and county, along with LifeMoves and a yet to be determined new site operator, will all be part of this (transition) process across the coming weeks and months," spokesperson Sarah Fields told San José Spotlight."
The City Council approved the conversion of a South San Jose shelter at 1 Branham Lane into permanent supportive housing. This decision aims to address crime and safety concerns raised by neighbors. The site will provide low-income residents with low-acuity needs. Councilmember Pamela Campos emphasized the necessity of increasing permanent housing supply. The transition follows the termination of LifeMoves' contract after a caseworker's arrest for drug-related activities. A new operator will be appointed, ensuring no current clients are displaced during the transition.
