This week in Milpitas, ongoing concerns remain about safety at Hillview Court, a 134-unit permanent supportive housing complex for formerly homeless residents, where multiple deaths have been reported and police calls for service have increased. This issue continues to draw local attention as the community seeks effective responses. Additionally, the broader Santa Clara County Behavioral Health Services Department faces a significant $100 million budget shortfall for fiscal year 2026–27, driven by federal Medi-Cal cuts, changes in state funding, and the end of one-time COVID-19 relief funds. While this is a county-level challenge, it directly impacts mental health services available to Milpitas residents. Key points this week: - Safety concerns persist at Hillview Court supportive housing in Milpitas due to repeated deaths and emergency calls. - Santa Clara County’s Behavioral Health Services faces a major budget deficit threatening mental health program funding. - Recent county board meetings have included discussions relevant to healthcare and mental health funding, providing context for local service challenges. What to watch: Any upcoming Milpitas city council actions addressing supportive housing safety or local mental health service funding gaps.
