Grand Opening of the Cherry Avenue Interim Housing Community in San José

A NEW BOSS-BUILT COMMUNITY THAT OFFERS DIGNIFIED HOMES To TRANSFORM LIVES

We are proud to announce the grand opening of the Cherry Avenue Interim Housing Community in San José — a project that reflects what is possible when cities, agencies, nonprofits, and mission-driven partners come together with urgency and compassion.

This week, the City of San José, Santa Clara Valley Water District, DignityMoves, and HomeFirst held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate this new community. Local leaders, including Mayor Matt Mahan and Vice Mayor Pam Foley, shared powerful remarks about the importance of expanding dignified shelter options and the impact this project will have on residents transitioning out of street homelessness.

Located on Cherry Avenue, the site provides private, dignified rooms for 130 individuals experiencing street homelessness, along with on-site support services that help residents stabilize, heal, and take steps toward long-term housing.

BOSS is honored to have supplied the homes for this development. Our mission is rooted in creating safe, functional, rapidly deployable housing that meets people where they are — and this project embodies exactly that.

We’re grateful to the City of San José, our partners at DignityMoves and HomeFirst, and the philanthropic leaders who made this milestone possible. Together, communities like Cherry Avenue are showing what real progress looks like in addressing unsheltered homelessness.
