Overview

• City officials say crews removed more than 650,000 pounds of debris and counted at least 370 residents and 120 lived-in vehicles during the clearance.
• Roughly 200 people were moved into converted motels, but some declined offers to keep their RVs, leaving many scattered to other camps or city streets.
• About 21 RVs from a tight-knit group relocated to a Kellanova lot before being moved again, as Supervisor Betty Duong helped secure only five temporary safe parking spaces.
• Officials report buying back about 75 vehicles, while roughly 25 RVs shifted onto private property after the sweep and were later forced off by owners.
• San Jose’s two safe parking sites with 42 and 86 spaces are full, more than 1,000 vehicles are used as housing citywide, and another sweep is planned under Highway 87 next week.
