Matthew Quevedo, deputy chief of staff in San Jose, reflects on the homelessness crisis while walking with his son. His son's question spurs Quevedo to campaign for the City Council to remove bureaucratic obstacles and implement effective housing solutions. Quevedo, one of seven candidates vying for a council seat, aims to build coalitions with local stakeholders to address pressing issues like mental health and homelessness more effectively. His community organizing background fuels his desire to advocate for families in San Jose seeking real change.
"I know we're moving the needle and moving forward with good solutions when it comes to interim housing, safe sleeping and safe parking sites."
"I know, on the issues we face, it's not just my son, but it's the children and many families throughout San Jose who are asking themselves how come we're not solving these problems."
