SAN JOSE, Calif. (KRON) -- We are learning more about how some Bay Area cities plan to use the money they recently got from the state to address homelessness. Of the 130 million dollars, the City of San Jose got $4.8 million. Other cities around the state got a lot more -- even though they have smaller populations of unhoused people. Homeless advocates tell KRON4 San Jose received less funding. They fear for political reasons. That came after Gov. Gavin Newsom first ordered cities this summer to sweep encampments. San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan said then he would only sweep encampments if they had places for people to go. SF Dior store broken into almost exactly 1 year after smash-and-grab at same Union Square location Suzie Zeuouchan says her tent was swept when she lived at Colombus Park by the San Jose International Airport. She's still close to the airport but even closer to the Guadalupe River — the site of another expected encampment sweep. Zeuouchan says she doesn’t mind the sweeps as long as there is a shelter to go to or some kind of housing. Now with $4.8 million given to San Jose by Newsom's office, those proposed sweeps will be much more likely. "These dollars will help us continue clearing encampments and reclaiming our shared public spaces while we build permanent and interim housing, safe parking, and safe sleeping sites for our homeless neighbors to access as an alternative to the street,” Mahan said in a statement to KRON4. Shaunn Cartwright, an unhoused advocate, says San Jose got less money than other cities because of politics. "Unfortunately, it puts people at risk," Cartwright said. Mahan originally said he would only sweep people if they had somewhere to go like a shelter. But now, sweeps have happened throughout the summer. Other cities around the state have received much more money. Berkeley received $5 million. Antioch received $6.3 million. Richmond received nearly $10 million. The time to help people is running out every year. This summer, from June 1 to Oct. 8, seven unhoused people died from the heat. Coroner: Heat did not cause San Jose homeless boy’s death Mayor Mahan says he hopes that will be curbed by sanctioned tent sites. However, Cartwright says the act of sweeping someone, in general, can put them at risk. "As long as (Mahan) achieves his goals of clearing people from the streets. Thats fine. The number of dead unhoused people is irrelevant," Cartwright said. The first tent sites here in San Jose for unhoused people to live in will be ready by this upcoming spring. KRON4 asked the governor's office, meantime, why San Jose got so little money compared to other cities. We did not hear back in time for this report.
