Recommended Action

Staff recommend the City Council to consider the following options:
1. Continue the current model based on the City's Unhoused Task Force, Process for Assisting Unhoused Residents, and partnerships with the County of Santa Clara to measurably serve the City based on the relative needs of existing unhoused residents, including continuing to seek partnerships and possible grant opportunities; or
2. Direct the City Manager to propose an item for the Fiscal Year 2025-2027 City Work Program to develop an encampment management policy by evaluating examples from other jurisdictions in the Bay Area and incorporating best practices for review by the City Council.
