Following an outpouring of response from advocates, politicians and the media, organizers of a privately funded homeless encampment in San Jose say law enforcement officials have backed off on enforcing a 72-hour notice to vacate the camp.
Hope Village sits in an empty parking lot boxed off by Mineta San Jose International Airport, the Guadalupe River Creek and the state Employment Development Department on Ruff Drive and West Hedding Street. The collection of tents is surrounded by a fence and has a bathroom, solar power, and a central gathering area.
