The City of San Jose has developed a comprehensive strategy for ending unsheltered homelessness. This strategy is based on building out our Housing Continuum, which is a set of shelter and housing options that enable people to move off the street and into safe, dignified accommodations. Below are stories of a few of the thousands of individuals we have helped to exit the trauma of homelessness, stabilize their lives, and move toward self-sufficiency.
