San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan highlights the transformation of the neighborhood near Branham Lane and Monterey Road since the opening of Homekey Branham Lane, the city's largest interim housing community. The area, once plagued by complaints about homelessness-related issues, is now maintained under a no-encampment zone. This initiative is part of a broader plan to address homelessness with the addition of over 1,000 units, aiming to elevate living conditions and enhance community safety, although the city still faces a significant unsheltered population of around 5,500 residents.
As a city, we have a responsibility to protect neighborhoods, and that’s what we’re striving to do with initiatives like the no-encampment zone to ensure safety and cleanliness.
The opening of Homekey Branham Lane is a significant step forward, providing modern living spaces for over 200 residents while working towards reducing unsheltered homelessness in San Jose.
