Council reviewed the Homelessness Ad Hoc Committee’s research on approaches used in Rohnert Park, Napa, San Jose, and Tulare. Over six meetings, the committee explored prevention efforts, outreach, enforcement, and managed encampments. The committee recommended pursuing a designated, managed site where people experiencing homelessness could have a stable place to stay, access basic services, and connect with service providers while awaiting interim or longer-term housing. The proposed approach would include clear rules and on-site oversight, with the goal of reducing unsanctioned encampments throughout Gilroy. Council directed the committee to continue its research and return with a more detailed plan, including cost estimates, for Council consideration.

In a separate discussion, Council received an update on the encampment near Sixth Street. Staff reported that two cleanups had occurred since the previous update and that, aside from recurring debris accumulation, the camp remained fairly well managed with volunteer support. Arrests and citations remained minimal. Following discussion, Council directed staff to close the encampment by December 15. People staying there will receive written notice and assistance connecting with available resources and services through service providers.
