Safety and habitability issues at two of the Bay Area’s largest homeless housing sites raise oversight concerns.
Mold, cockroaches and security issues at two of the Bay Area’s largest homeless housing sites in San Jose haveabout the level of oversight of the desperately needed homes for the city’s most vulnerable residents.
State regulators also monitor many homeless housing sites across California. Their role varies from following up on self-reported issues raised by local governments to routine site inspections and audits. Officials say the challenges are hardly confined to the South Bay — and stress that local governments throughout the Bay Area must work together closely to end homelessness. Across the region, there are about 38,000 people without a permanent home on any given night, according to estimates from earlier this year. That’s a 35% increase from 2019, despite unprecedented billions in homelessness spending in recent years.
San Jose has backed at least 700 homeless housing units for long-term or temporary stays. Over the next year, it aims to add at least 400 more units in converted motels and new structures, as well as around 1,000 tiny homes and prefabricated cabins for short-term stays.
