The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday will consider a partnership with San Jose to assist homeless residents relocated from city parks.

Mayor Matt Mahan said millions in COVID funds also have been used to feed unhoused residents and provide services for vulnerable families. Bay Area activists urged remaining funds should be targeted to help Black and brown families who suffered most from the pandemic.

The mayors want $4 billion per-year for five years in flexible funding as part of the state budget. 

The San Jose shelter opening May 17 has governments quarreling, neighbors nervous and homeless residents stuck in the middle.
