Despite several dozen residents opposing the project, councilmembers unanimously approved the safe parking site.
San Jose’s Berryessa neighborhood will be the site of a massive RV parking lot after city councilmembers approved an $18.9 million lease on Tuesday for the project as part of a strategy to offer faster, interim options to combat the homelessness crisis.and is located along Coyote Creek at 1300 Berryessa Road, allowing RV dwellers to legally park with no maximum stay in an area mostly surrounded by industrial buildings.
Despite a couple of dozen neighbors who spoke out against the safe parking site, Mayor Matt Mahan rallied for the proposal. According to figures provided by the city, out of 1,395 homeless residents who have received these interim services over the last three years, 50% entered permanent housing and another 19% found another temporary option. Nine percent returned to homelessness and the city didn’t have information on the outcomes for 22% of the residents.
Li and about a half-dozen other residents protested outside of San Jose City Hall on Tuesday morning, holding up signs that said “Keep our children safe” and “No RV parking in Berryessa.” Lee said many families and children live just a couple blocks north.
