The Santa Clara City Council recently declined to be a co-sponsor on the Project HomeKey application.
A recent decision by Santa Clara to forego sponsorship of a Project HomeKey development for homeless families leaves the fate of a proposed 30-unit interim housing complex in the hands of the more experienced, better equipped Santa Clara County, which will vote on the project next week.
Consuelo Hernandez, the director of the county’s office of supportive housing, said cities sometimes do not want to take on that role because, unlike the county, they don’t have dedicated resources for homelessness. County Board President Susan Ellenberg, whose district encompasses Santa Clara, said the recent “point-in-time” homeless count made a strong case for the need for interim housing for families. The Lawrence and Benton site is expected to house families for three to six months until they find more permanent housing. Each unit will be equipped with a bathroom and kitchenette., conducted on a night in January.
But Hernandez said there’s a “general misunderstanding” in what the county means when they say they want there to be low barriers to entry in accessing interim housing.
