San José is among the first to receive #Homekey funds from @CAGovernor. This $14.5M investment enables us to purchase our #Roomkey site providing shelter during the pandemic—transforming a 76-unit motel into transitional housing for homeless neighbors. https://t.co/Z3WenQHDMC — PolitiTweet.org

@TopShelfBC @CAgovernor That’s the capital cost for the motel, with 77 rooms. That’s about a quarter of the cost to build an apartment building from scratch. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@caseycochrane @CAgovernor Of course it has. We’re grappling with the worst economic downtown of our lives. So, we need to scale cost-effective solutions that can help —that’s why we’re forging ahead with converting motels, building prefab emergency housing, tony homes, etc — PolitiTweet.org

Homekey builds on this model. The $14.5 million in State Homekey funding will allow the purchase of a current Project Roomkey site and add 76 more homes in San José for unhoused residents. (2/2) — PolitiTweet.org

I am grateful to @CAgovernor Newsom for his leadership and steadfast commitment in our fight to end homelessness. In 2016, we launched an effort to renovate two deteriorating motels to provide transitional housing for homeless residents. (1/2) https://t.co/cy0twpsmiH — PolitiTweet.org

The horrific shooting on 8th Street leaves our hearts rending for the families and friends of the two community members we have lost, and the four injured. SJPD continues to investigate, and we will not stop until we bring the killer to justice. https://t.co/r6F00A4MUR — PolitiTweet.org
