⚠️ RISKS OF THIS LOCATION
👨👩👧👦 Family & Child Safety:
The unprecedented placement of the homeless shelter so close to a preschool, senior assisted living facility, and family neighborhood puts vulnerable populations at risk.
🔒 Safety & Security Risks:
It creates increased potential for crime, drug use, and public disturbances without proper supervision protocols.
⚖️ Jurisdiction Confusion:
San Jose/Campbell border creates legal chaos. Who has authority and responsibility when shelter-related incidents affect the surrounding community?
📍 SEE HOW CLOSE THIS IS TO OUR HOMES AND SCHOOLS
The proposed location is dangerously close to family neighborhoods and schools.
