San Jose housed more than 2,500 people in 2022 — but still falls short

San Jose reportedly had one of its most significant years in housing the homeless, but advocates said the efforts are barely making a dent.

In the past year, San Jose helped nearly 2,600 homeless people get off the streets, with 71 percent of them moving into permanent housing, according to a city report published this month. The city also paid for hotels and motels for about 190 families with young children while they looked for housing, the report shows.
