Sunnyvale advances plan to help people living in RVs, draws criticism for slow pace

Sunnyvale leaders are moving forward with a plan to address homelessness among people living in their vehicles, but how quickly solutions can be implemented is unclear.

The City Council on Tuesday voted unanimously to develop proposals for interim housing on city-owned land, a potential RV buyback program and a permitted parking system for oversized vehicles on designated streets. This comes after two years of reviewing increasing homelessness and determining that a safe parking program wasn’t viable and operational management would be too costly. District 6 Councilmember Eileen Le recused herself from the vote because she lives within 500 feet of one of the locations.
