3/10/26, 9:55 AM Inbox - Rules and Open Government Committee Agendas - Outlook District 2 Neighborhood Leaders, Councilmember Campos introduced a memo to the Rules Committee directing the City Manager to develop a policy that would equally distribute future Emergency Interim Housing (EIH) sites across the city. By distributing EIH sites across all council districts, the City can continue to reduce the unsheltered population while preventing the clustering of sites in a small number of geographical areas. The current rollout of our shelter system has presented many challenges that our neighbors have shared with us.

Written public comments may be submitted to the City Council by emailing city.clerk@sanjoseca.gov by 8:00 a.m. on Wednesday. Please feel free...
