A San Jose park where hundreds of unhoused lived is nearly cleared out, but police say they still have to make sweeps of the area.
The huge encampment that took over Columbus Park is now gone, but some of the unhoused residents still lingering say they have nowhere to go. They say they’ve been pushed from one area to another without a home and without offers of housing.
The city, however, says it has offered housing. Mayor Matt Mahan says San Jose is responding to the crisis. Columbus Park once was home to about 350 people until about a month ago, with tents and RVs everywhere. About 200 have accepted temporary housing at converted motels, the mayor said.
Thom Jensen has the details in the video above.
