With millions of dollars of federal funding on the line, San Jose plans to start this month on the daunting task of dismantling one of the Bay Area’s largest homeless encampments.

But removing the hundreds of people who are camped on vacant land around the Mineta San Jose International Airport presents “significant legal and ethical challenges,” officials warned, and can’t realistically be completed until June 2022. And with housing and emergency shelter in short supply, it’s unclear where the displaced residents will go.
