In his latest effort to combat the city’s persistent problem with homelessness, San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo has plans to create 2,300 new homes for unhoused residents by the end of next year — in part by building hundreds more modular apartments scattered throughout the city.

Recommitting to a pandemic strategy he says is working, the mayor wants to open 683 new transitional beds for people awaiting permanent housing placements — effectively tripling the city’s current stock. His announcement comes as the city has seen a COVID-inspired influx in federal and state funding for homeless housing, and is poised to rake in even more in the coming months. Now, Liccardo is calling on City Council members to support his push and offer up sites for the apartments in their own districts.
