SANTA CLARA — The Bella Vista Inn soon will be transformed into much-needed housing for homeless residents, thanks to a $22 million state grant announced Thursday.

The project is the latest in a series of hotel conversions funded by Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Homekey initiative. Construction to turn the hotel on El Camino Real in Santa Clara into 67 units of interim housing is set to start in March and finish by December. In addition to the state funding, Santa Clara County is contributing $3 million from its 2016 Measure A affordable housing bond.
