San José residents are invited to a Neighborhood Forum focused on collaborative, community-based solutions to homelessness that support safety and public health for all.
Hosted by BeautifySJ, the forum features a panel of City leaders from key departments. Attendees can ask questions, share input, and learn about initiatives aimed at supporting unhoused residents and improving neighborhood conditions.
BeautifySJ is a program of the Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services Department that tackles blight and encampment impacts through cleanups, graffiti removal, and neighborhood engagement.
