Santa Clara County Supervisors on Tuesday approved plans to turn hotels in Mountain View and Santa Clara into housing for homeless and low-income residents amid a heated debate that pit advocates pushing for more solutions to the growing unhoused population against those worried about how the new programs would affect their neighborhoods.

The sites include The Crestview, a 61-room hotel in Mountain View bordering Sunnyvale, and the Bella Vista Inn, a 64-unit hotel in Santa Clara. Both are located on El Camino Real and will cost $33 million in Homekey funding — money that comes from the state to address homelessness — for the county to purchase the hotels.
