San Jose Considers ‘Shelter Crisis,' ‘Tent City' For Homeless
The San Jose City Council is poised to open up four warming centers, declare a “shelter crisis” and spend up to $430,000 to do so to try to tackle the homeless problem ahead of the winter months. And in a separate but related matter, the council on Tuesday will discuss what sanctioning a “tent city,” would entail, a year after San Jose tore down what was once the nation’s largest, unsanctioned homeless encampment nicknamed “The Jungle,” where violent and unsanitary conditions ran rampant.
