Homelessness increased by 8% in San Jose from 2019 to 2022.
Following an 8% increase in homelessness in San Jose from 2019 to 2022, California is set to take a close look at how much the city is spending on addressing the issue.
Cortese says he wants to make sure that money is being spent correctly—and he wants to do it now, while the state is still committed to making an “unprecedented investment” in combatting homelessness. Cortese’s audit request includes questions about how money from Project Homekey — a Gov. Gavin Newsom pandemic initiative to help cities and counties convert hotels into housing — has been spent, how other local funds for addressing homelessness are being used and what the city’s proposed sites are for both permanent housing and temporary shelters.
