And Newsom is deploying 1,200 “small homes” as temporary homeless housing — 200 of which will go to San Jose.
Newsom’s office didn’t release details regarding what the small homes will look like and what kind of amenities they will have. But small, one or two-room dwellings — often known as tiny homes — have become a popular strategy in the Bay Area and beyond as officials try to mitigate the homelessness crisis. They range in size and quality, from rudimentary shed-like dwellings in Oakland that lack running water, to larger units in San Jose with en suite bathrooms.
But though the idea is to move people from the street into a tiny home, and then quickly from a tiny home into permanent housing, that doesn’t always pan out. Afound that though tiny homes work better than dorm-style traditional shelters, tiny home residents in Alameda County failed to find permanent housing nearly three-quarters of the time between June 2019 and June 2022. In Santa Clara County, they failed to find permanent housing more than half of the time.
Now, Newsom’s office says that has paid off. In their 2023-2024 plans, California cities and counties have upped their goals to a 15% reduction in homelessness statewide by 2025.
