Fight over homeless housing explodes in North San Jose

Dozens of North San Jose residents want to prevent a tiny homes project in their neighborhood, and even a councilmember is  objecting to the plan.

District 4 Councilmember David Cohen will ask his colleagues at Wednesday’s Rules and Open Government Committee meeting to pause plans for homeless housing on Noble Avenue. The city council approved the site in June without any public hearings or community outreach, leaving residents in the dark. Cohen and Councilmember Matt Mahan voted against it.
