Santa Clara County's Continuum of Care operates bridge housing through Project Homekey hotel conversions, navigation centers, and tiny-home villages. SB-9 and AB-2011 streamlining accelerate affordable conversions in commercial corridors with reduced CEQA review.
Santa Clara County's bridge housing portfolio under the Office of Supportive Housing includes Project Homekey-converted hotels (Pavilion Inn in San Jose, La Quinta in Mountain View, Studio 6 in San Jose), navigation centers like Boccardo Reception Center, and tiny-home villages including Mabury Bridge Housing Community and Felipe McAlister Place. Project Homekey, funded under California AB-83 and successor rounds, provides state grants for rapid hotel/motel acquisition with streamlined CEQA review. SB-9 (lot splits) and AB-2011 (commercial-to-residential streamlining, 2022) accelerate non-Homekey affordable conversions, though most SCC bridge housing predates AB-2011 implementation. Average length of stay ranges 60-180 days while case managers connect residents with permanent supportive housing under HUD vouchers and SCC Measure A bond funds.
Operators failing to comply with Homekey covenants face HCD repayment demands and loss of state funding. Residents violating program rules (weapons, drug policies at some sites) face program exit. Fair-housing claims arise where operators discriminate based on protected characteristics.
