Shelter or Arrest: A Controversial Plan for San José's Unhoused

Listen Later

This episode contains explicit language.

Next week, San Jose City Council will vote on a controversial plan that would threaten unhoused people with arrest if they refuse multiple offers of shelter. Mayor Matt Mahan says this approach could help open paths to treatment and increase support for more shelter construction. But Santa Clara County officials are skeptical.
