San Jose city and nonprofit leaders unveiled a new interim housing site located in the police headquarters parking lot.
The community is known as a quick build. The buildings and units are pre-fabricated so it took just a year and a half to complete this project. “These units take 1.5 years to build on average versus the nearly 5 years it's taking to build more traditional affordable housing and we're able to deliver them in about one-seventh the cost per door,” said Mayor Matt Mahan.It employs the unhoused to clean up and beautify the city.
“This is going to just explode with impact. Impact not only for the residents that we’re serving but for the community at large,” said Trish Dorsey, the vice president of Mission Services, Goodwill of Silicon Valley. San Jose now has 700 units like this either operating or under construction and another 300 are on the way.
All the projects have been built on public land so far. This one is in the parking lot next to police headquarters. “Having this place is going to give me and a lot of us an opportunity to get back into society and start working,” he said.
