    RECAP of County “Meet & Greet” Community Meeting, Aug. 15th

    Plan to Convert Monterey/Bernal EIH site to a Jail Diversion Program

    The County of Santa Clara has offered to purchase the Bernal/Monterey Emergency Interim Housing Site (6066 Monterey Road at the intersection of Bernal) from the City of San Jose, for the purpose of refocusing it into a jail diversion facility. The County’s proposal involves replacing the homeless residents of this site with individuals from collaborative courts – adults with underlying problems that lead to criminal behavior, including mental illness, substance use disorders or both.

    The community had many questions about how the program would be run at the August 15th meeting that were not able to be answered.  This new meeting on Sept. 11th is an opportunity to ask more questions and voice your opinion about the program.    

    LPNA does not take a position on controversial subjects.  This information is being provided to keep our members informed about what is going on in our neighborhood and surrounding area, and to provide an opportunity for our members to express their view to the relevant parties, such as County Staff and representatives, City Staff and City Council members.

    Please see FULL RECAP that was sent out on 9/3/24 for more details on the Jail Diversion Program and information on how you can weigh in on the project.

  • Zoom Meeting – Cost-benefit analysis of Portable Housing at Via Del Oro/San Ignacio Site

    Tonight, Oct 2, 5:30 p.m. there is a Zoom meeting regarding the cost-benefit analysis of Emergency Interim Housing (EIH) housing at Via Del Oro/San Ignacio site. Information, with a Zoom link, is below.

    Proposed Via Del Oro site for moveable sleeping cabins

    City staff is completing a cost-benefit analysis that will be shared with the community at a virtual meeting on October 2, 2023, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Please click below for the Zoom link: https://bit.ly/SJzoom10-02-2023.

    This site has been moved forward by the City Council for a cost-benefit analysis only at this time. It is anticipated a cost-benefit analysis will be conducted during the summer of 2023, and both a follow-up community meeting and a return to the City Council will happen in August or September 2023.

    On May 30th, staff hosted a community meeting to discuss the proposed interim housing community of moveable sleeping cabins in the Via Del Oro neighborhood. Below are slides from that meeting.
