San Jose Halts Sale of Housing Site Amid Concerns Over California's Project Homekey

San Jose has decided not to sell an interim housing site intended for a jail diversion program following community backlash. A nonprofit organization that helped conceive California's homeless housing initiative, Project Homekey, has been criticized for leaving a string of failed projects. The program has faced issues such as unclear timelines for converting properties into affordable housing and questions about the allocation of $26.7 million in state funds.
