San Diego’s safe sleeping program could become a model for San Jose to replicate as the city looks to implement multiple sites this year that could accommodate 500 homeless residents

The homelessness crisis has forced San Jose to reevaluate some of its priorities as it also grapples with a dearth of affordable housing. Recent surveys counted approximately 6,340 homeless residents in San Jose, of whom about 70% were unsheltered. However, with the need to abate encampments and a lack of interim housing availability, the City Council experimented with safe sleeping sites and added more alternatives, approving eight prospective sites in June to accommodate 500 homeless residents.
Those sites, which cost about $56 daily per tent, offer a combination of necessities like meals, showers and restrooms, individualized case management, medical care and treatment services to help homeless residents get back on their feet. “Our safe sleeping sites have proven to be a successful and innovative option for getting people experiencing homelessness off the streets and connected to care,” San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria said in a statement. “It was an honor to show Mayor Mahan how these low-barrier sites are working in San Diego and I hope they continue to serve as a model for effective solutions to help vulnerable residents find stability and a path to permanent housing.
