Concerns over ‘resources drying up’ mount amid delays on San Jose tiny homes project

By next fall, San Jose aims to have a long-awaited temporary housing site on the south side of the city for homeless individuals, though some are questioning why it’s taking so long.

The temporary emergency housing site will be built across from the Blossom Hill Hampton Inn on land owned by Valley Water. The 2.5-acre site will sit on Cherry Avenue where dozens of people are camped along the Guadalupe River. Once completed, it will have 96 tiny homes and offer case management, security and other services to help people transition into permanent housing.
