While San Jose has begun to clear Columbus Park Monday, city officials said that only a little more than half of the 300 unhoused residents have accepted offers of shelter

As San Jose begins sweeping its largest homeless encampment in Columbus Park, people who have accepted offers of shelter will be safe from having their vehicles towed until space opens up.

Mayor Matt Mahan said during a news conference that the body was discovered during the clearing of the Columbus Park encampment. The cause of death is under investigation.
