The city of San Jose has offered $500 to residents of a San Jose homeless encampment near the airport to tow away their RV, trailer or vehicle and is offering assistance in finding new housing for those people.
Some living at the encampment at Columbus Park, near Mineta San Jose International Airport, have taken up the offer, and crews began removing items Tuesday morning. By the city's count, 97 RVs, trailers and vehicles were still at the site. Fifteen owners of those vehicles were ready to take the $500. About 15 others also expressed interest.
The city also is offering people assistance in finding new housing so it can clear out the park. One man is taking the money and moving into a motel before eventually moving into Section 8 housing.Stay informed about local news and weather. Get the NBC Bay Area app for
