My abridged version
Each resident was offered a nine-month stay in a motel, plus 12 months of case-management services to help with addiction, mental health, long-term housing plans and more — costing Apple millions of dollars...

As part of a $2.5 billion pledge to address the region’s housing and homelessness crises, Apple promised in 2019 to make some of that land available for affordable housing. But progress has been slow, and no plans have been formalized.
Apple wouldn’t reveal exactly how much it was spending to help encampment residents or how many people it had relocated.

A handful of Apple camp residents declined the company’s offer of a motel room — many because they had RVs or other vehicles they didn’t want to be separated from. For them, the city plans to open an emergency safe-parking site Tuesday on Vista Montaña, according to [ San Jose Parks and Rec].
As a third alternative, camp residents also were offered space in Santa Clara County’s largest homeless shelter, the Boccardo Regional Reception Center. A few people declined all three choices...
When the government is so shitty at providing social services that a soulless evil corporation trying to avoid bad publicity does a better job at it.
