Weekly summary for Milpitas
Jun 1, 2026 to Jun 7, 2026 • Updated Jun 7, 2026
This week in Milpitas, ongoing concerns remain around the safety and conditions at Hillview Court, a 134-unit permanent supportive housing complex for formerly homeless residents, where multiple deaths have been reported. The city continues to monitor this situation closely as part of its mental health and housing efforts. Additionally, the Santa Clara County Behavioral Health Services Department faces a significant $100 million budget deficit for fiscal year 2026–27, driven by federal Medi-Cal cuts, changes in state funding, and rising costs. While this is a county-level issue, it directly impacts mental health services available to Milpitas residents. Key points: - Hillview Court supportive housing site remains under scrutiny due to repeated deaths and police calls. - Countywide mental health services face a $100 million shortfall affecting local service capacity. - Recent Milpitas city council and county meetings have discussed related budget and service challenges. What to watch: Any upcoming Milpitas city council actions or collaborations with county agencies aimed at addressing safety and service gaps at Hillview Court and in local mental health support.
