Advocates for the unhoused population across Santa Clara County fear continued delays of a critical homeless count will impact a clear understanding of the region's crisis.
Hundreds of unhoused people have either found or built shelter on a 40-acre parcel of land near the Mineta San Jose International Airport .
Data would assist in getting some much needed help to address what San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo called the city's"greatest failure" back in December- homelessness. "I totally agree with the mayor. Homelessness is one of his biggest failures. You know, look around," Cartwright shared."But the problem isn't homelessness, it's a lack of housing.""If we keep putting it off because of COVID, we're never going to get that count," she added."If we are out there, counting everybody and testing everybody, and perhaps getting everybody their shots, then we will be doing the job we need to be doing.
"On a basic level, it shows that people count- that people matter. And that we need to align our budgets with our values," Vandenberg told ABC7 News."And the only way that we can do that is by making sure every single member of our community is accounted for."
