San Jose is breaking ground on a unique transitional housing site that will support hundreds of homeless residents when complete.
Preparation is underway for a three-story, prefabricated modular project on Branham Lane and Monterey Road in the south part of the city. Planning for the site in District 2 began in 2021.
