Clark, Bryan. "San Jose will build ‘up to 500’ tiny homes for coronavirus-affected homeless residents." ''The Next Web'', April 9 2020. https://thenextweb.com/corona/2020/04/09/asan-jose-will-build-up-to-500-tiny-homes-for-coronavirus-affected-homeless-residents/. <blockquote>''"San Jose city officials expect the construction of each unit to run nearly $25,000, and plans to use both city-owned and private land to complete the project. 'This is pretty inexpensive,' Liccardo said. 'But obviously, if we can make it last 10-15 years, it’s a huge return compared to the alternative.'<nowiki/>''
''"Despite a budget deficit of $110 million over the next two years, the city plans to move forward with the $17 million project. To fund it, city officials plan to seek assistance from a grant, the Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention program, a one-time block grant offered by the state of California to aid in housing its growing homeless population."''</blockquote>

Liccardo, Sam. (2020). Comments in "Reaching the Peak," in interactive Q&A with the mayors of San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, and a UCSF doctor. ''ABC 7 News'' (Bay Area), April 16, 2020. https://abc7ne.ws/34Gydvn. (video also at https://www.facebook.com/57427307078/videos/555368625125184). At 16:40.<blockquote>''Discussing San Jose government's plan to use emergency funding [state-administered HHAP block grant] to build non-congregate shelters that are durable, prefab structures, to provide transitional housing both immediately and longer-term.''</blockquote>City of San José. "Emergency Interim Housing Response to COVID-19 and City Shelter Crises Declaration." Accessed 27 June 2020. https://www.sanjoseca.gov/home/showdocument?id=57132. <blockquote>''In the near-term, emergency interim housing provides some additional short-term shelter to more unhoused residents so that they can meet the statewide and local orders to Shelter-in-Place, helping to reduce the risk of the spread of COVID-19 and keeping us all safer. As the COVID-19 risk declines, these housing communities can provide short-term transitional shelter to unhoused residents while they wait for placement in a permanent supportive affordable apartment or locate other housing.''
''− Two such sites are being developed in south San José. The Monterey and Bernal site will have approximately 20 modular units fully connected to public utilities that will house up to 80 formerly unhoused residents in furnished private rooms. The community will be located on a City-owned site and will include individual shower and restroom facilities within each room, shared facilities for living needs, office space for staff to provide services, a perimeter fence and onsite security, pet accommodations, onsite parking for residents and staff, and basic traffic safety improvements.''

'''''4) Will more Emergency Interim Housing or Bridge Housing be developed elsewhere in the City? If so, how will this site compare to others?'''''
''The City opened its first '''Bridge Housing Community''' in Council District 3 off Mabury Road this spring and is currently developing its second site in Council District 7 off Felipe Road near Story Road. The Monterey and Bernal and Rue Ferrari and 101 sites are being flexibly developed to serve dual purposes as emergency interim housing sites and future bridge housing sites to address both immediate needs and future needs.''
''− The City also operates overnight warming locations, safe parking programs, and has stood up mass shelter sites during the COVID-19 crisis. Overnight warming locations have been hosted in Council Districts 3 and 6, safe parking programs in Districts 2, 3, and 7, and the mass shelters stood up in response to COVID-19 (South Hall and Parkside) are both located downtown in District 3. FEMA trailers to house at-risk and/or unsheltered residents are located in a District 7 City parking lot at Kelly Park, and a family shelter recently opened in District 9 at the Camden Community Center.''
''− Both emergency shelter and Bridge Housing Communities in the City of San José are intended to be short-term or transitional housing.''
'''''5) Who is building the Monterey and Bernal site and when will it be completed?'''''
''Habitat for Humanity (Habitat) was selected as the project developer for the site at Monterey and Bernal. Habitat built the City’s first BHC site on Mabury Road in Council District 3 and is also developing a second BHC site near Felipe Avenue in Council District 7.'' </blockquote>The Bridge Housing Community at Mabury Road uses individual small housing units, a design developed pro-bono by Gensler architecture in partnership with the City . While these were pictured during announcements and in media coverage of the Emergency Interim Housing, the EIH projects appear to be planned for multi-unit modular structures, 4 units per structure.
