Matt Mahan’s Post

This is extremely depressing. The quote in this graphic is completely false. You’re not investing in ending homelessness. You’re stuck on stupid. Shelters and sanctioned tent camps do not end homelessness. Only housing does. This is a massive step in the wrong direction. My God this is depressing.

EsTiempo “It’s Time” however it must be done in mental health humanistic way, I know many homeless folks who suffered on the streets and PLAGUED is a strong word!

Congratulations Matt Mahan. Consistency of thoughtful focus on the critically important matters—public safety, homelessness and economic development—will deliver meaningful and sustainable results for San Jose and our region. Keep moving forward with positive intent and creative vision as you do each and every day.

I have to say the efforts directed to addressing this issue have improved drastically since you have been elected, we can see the improvements. We appreciate your initiative on this. Lots more work to do of course, but this should help further these efforts. Thank you Matt Mahan !

So great to see your unwavering dedication to solving homelessness in your community, when most other leaders would sweep it under the rug. Fantastic work!

Reno, NV and Washoe County is a great example of why this does not work.

Moving forward!

Impressive growth!

Well done!

Congratulations!
