11.2% of San Jose State’s student body experienced homelessness in the last 12 months, according to a report.
State Senator David Cortese, told KTVU that after reading the Silicon Valley Pain Index, he needed to take action. He partnered with the Board of Supervisors to come up with a plan that would combat housing insecurity among the county's college students.
"I was living at Bill Wilson Shelter and just kind of couch-surfing, sleeping in my car, and that lasted for a period of almost three years until my name finally came up on a housing list for the County and I got an apartment," Chandler said. "You can’t fight homelessness at the adult level, while you’re continuing to graduate, literally graduate young people into homelessness at the same time. It’s just a treadmill that we need to get off of," said Sen. David Cortese, CA-Dist. 15.
