People experiencing homelessness in San Jose who refuse offers of interim shelter will be issued written warnings and will face arrest for repeated refusals under a proposal unveiled Thursday by Mayor Matt Mahan. The new policy seeks to hold unhoused residents accountable for coming indoors, with the Mayor's Office saying one in three homeless residents refuse offers of housing with private rooms, bathrooms, and doors that lock. Roughly 200 unhoused residents die outdoors each year in Santa Clara County, the office said. "Responsibility to Shelter" plan would allow for the arrest of individuals after three refusals to come indoors.
