These 96 units represent nearly 10% of Mayor Matt Mahan's 2023 goal of getting 1,000 people into stable, safe spaces and off the streets of San Jose.

"As a homeless person, I know what it's like to be on the streets and not have a roof over my head or not having a place to shower and get some rest," Bonales said. "Having this place is going to give a lot of us an opportunity to get back into society. It's a shattered dream that's coming true, you know? I didn't think I was going to be able to come out of the situation I was in.
