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. As we work to address unsheltered homelessness, the Councilmember wants to ensure that every council district is invested in the success of our shelter system. Your perspective and lived experience are important to share with City leaders. Successful passage through the Rules Committee will allow the City Council to consider this policy for adoption. This item will be on next week’s Rules Committee agenda (Wednesday, 03/11/2026). 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...
