Tiny Houses for the Homeless Planned for San Jose
The Bay Area's most populated city is taking a small step to house its homeless population.
"If everything goes according to plan, San Jose should have 80 tiny homes ready by the summer to house formerly homeless people while they get back on their feet," reports Emily Deruy.
Tiny homes have been in discussion in San Jose since 2017, but now there's a clear plan for where to locate the houses once they are built—40 the homes at a Valley Transportation Authority staging site on Mabury Road near Coyote Creek and another 40 at a Caltrans site in the southwest quadrant of the intersection of Highways 680 and 101, adjacent to Felipe Avenue.
The article includes more details about the construction of the tiny homes, one of which is on display outside City Hall through Wednesday of this week.
