DignityMoves on State of the Bay: Scaling Interim Housing to Address Unsheltered Homelessness
DignityMoves Founder and CEO Elizabeth Funk recently joined KALW’s State of the Bay alongside San José Mayor Matt Mahan to discuss how interim supportive housing is transforming the way cities address unsheltered homelessness. San José is leading the way, demonstrating how public-private partnerships can rapidly scale cost-effective, dignified housing solutions—with a bold goal of reaching Functional Zero Unsheltered homelessness.
In this interview, we explore why interim housing is a critical missing link in the housing continuum, how it provides immediate relief, and why more cities are embracing it as a scalable solution. Hear from our team and Mayor Mahan about the momentum behind interim housing, the lessons we’ve learned, and how we’re working to expand these solutions statewide.
