Another common question I am asked is why are homeless residents only in San Jose and not in neighboring cities such as Los Gatos, Campbell, etc.?

Every city in the Bay Area is dealing with the homeless crisis and many have homeless shelters and provide services to homeless residents.

There are 521 permanent supportive housing units located in other cities throughout Santa Clara County to house homeless individuals and families. This represents approximately 1/3 of the total number of units.

San Jose is the largest city in northern California, which helps explain why it has more homeless residents than other cities in the South Bay. San Francisco is a smaller city and has more homeless residents than San Jose.

The Office of Retirement Services is actively recruiting applicants to join the Board of Administration for the Federated City Employees' Retirement System, where we currently have two vacant Public Member Board Member positions available to fill.
