The 75 tiny home shelters in South San Jose are expected to be finished by the middle of next year.
John Sobrato is photographed on the Santa Clara University campus in Santa Clara, Calif., on Wednesday, Dec. 21, 2016. Billionaire Silicon Valley developer John A. Sobrato is offering up an empty plot of land in South San Jose for 75 tiny home shelters for homeless people — and all it’s going to cost the city is $1 a year over the next half-decade.
“My father’s offer on behalf of the Sobrato Family Foundation of a five-year no-cost lease of the property on Via del Oro for interim housing is an admirable effort to help one of San Jose’s most vulnerable populations.”On Tuesday, the San Jose City Council unanimously agreed to lease the Via del Oro property. At the council meeting, Mayor Matt Mahan said he hopes more property owners will follow Sobrato’s example and consider leasing out vacant sites for shelters.
The San Francisco nonprofit Dignity Moves will manage the site, providing case management, mental health counseling and job training, with the ultimate goal of helping residents find permanent housing. Last year, about half of the roughly 900 people who stayed at San Jose’s interim housing units moved into permanent homes, a much higher rate than most group shelters lacking private rooms, though results varied widely across different interim sites, according toCan San Jose speed up quick-build homeless sites? Mayor says emergency declaration will do the trick
