‘It’s an eviction’: San Jose begins dismantling largest homeless encampment, ‘the Jungle’

SAN JOSE HAS BEGUN dismantling its last large homeless encampment after weeks of outreach and offers of housing.

Workers on Wednesday tore down tents and makeshift homes along Coyote Creek across from Happy Hollow Park & Zoo — an area known as “the Jungle.” As the city started clearing the encampment, which had become home to more than 100 homeless people, some residents had already moved to the Cerone tiny home site, some were waiting to move and others said they received no offers of housing and have nowhere to go.
