The state said San Diego voided the grant by not approving a the site for the new tiny homes.
FILE — California Gov. Gavin Newsom speaks during a news conference in Sacramento, Calif. on May 10, 2024. California residents will be able to watch Gov. Gavin Newsom’s State of the State address online this week, his office said Sunday. San Diego’s loss is San Jose’s gain as Gov. Gavin Newsom has decided to rescind a $10 million grant to the Southern California county for new tiny home shelters, instead giving most of the money to the Bay Area’s largest city.
The governor’s office did not immediately respond to questions about why the state chose to give the money to San Jose. It was unclear what would happen to the remainder of the $10 million grant. San Jose has an estimated 6,340 homeless residents, about 4,400 of whom are unsheltered on the city’s streets or living in vehicles., which first reported Newsom’s decision, San Diego County Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Nora Vargas said the board vetoed the plan to add 150 tiny home beds in response to “my community’s feedback and concerns.”
Tiny home proponents contend the “interim” shelters, which provide rent-free private units on a temporary basis, are more stable and welcoming alternatives to traditional group shelters that lack privacy and generally have lower placement rates to housing.
