Santa Clara County's plan to convert the Monterey/Bernal tiny home village into a facility for formerly incarcerated individuals has raised significant safety concerns among local residents.
'Based on the community feedback and leadership, we just think it's not an appropriate location for a jail diversion facility because it's very close to two neighborhoods,' a resident, Karen Lattin, expressed during a contentious meeting.
'It's not a done deal,' says District 2 Councilmember Sergio Jimenez, clarifying that transparency is important amidst concerns about backroom deals regarding the facility's future.
County officials attempted to address neighbors' concerns in a recent meeting, but long-time resident Karen Lattin felt that the officials glossed over major issues and worries from residents.
