""I think if we get everybody indoors, it takes the pressure off the system," Funk told San José Spotlight. "But we first got to stop the devastation, and then we can build permanent housing that we need in a time frame that is realistic.""
San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan has implemented various strategies to address homelessness, including increasing tiny home production and advocating for more state funding. He has also called for increased county services and streamlined shelter production by declaring a homelessness crisis. Experts suggest that the success of these strategies at the state level will depend on local collaboration. Mahan's approach includes protecting federal housing vouchers, though details remain unclear. Building temporary shelters is seen as essential to alleviate the homelessness crisis before focusing on permanent housing solutions.
