In Santa Clara county, home to giant tech companies and extreme wealth, the homeless population has increased by over two thousand residents since 2017. To address the issue holistically, the county is planning new initiatives to strengthen social safety net programs, change land use policy, and build a more just economy. Director of the Santa Clara Office of Supportive Housing Ky Le asserts that the county must address the root causes of housing instability, "Homelessness is not the problem – I feel like homelessness is the result of three or four decades of various policy decisions. We're going to do all these things to reduce and prevent homelessness, and we have to try to alleviate human suffering in the meantime." ow.ly/Hxz150xt26N #homelessness
