After days of warning people living on the streets, and along creeks and rivers, homeless advocates in San Jose say it seems most people heeded the message that dangerous storms were headed to the Bay Area.
"Even if you don’t want to leave, you’re just being forced to because there’s just nothing left. Everything you had has floated away or has just been pounded into oblivion by the rain. We’ve given people new tents, and then the wind snaps the tents," said Shaunn Cartwright, Founder of Unhoused Response Group .
"As far as I know, there’s still plenty of room here at Camden. The Red Cross has done a great job of opening these shelters and being kind to people, providing the services as best they can," Cartwright said. "They want to put me in a warm place, but I’m not with no shelters. Because I’ve been in shelters, and I’m not comfortable. I can’t be around too many people," said Tyric Perkins.
