Housing

Homelessness Response

Homelessness in the Bay Area has reached a crisis level, driven in large part by a shortage of affordable housing. In 2023, 9,903 people were experiencing homelessness on a given night in Santa Clara County. Of those, 562 people were homeless in Mountain View.

Get information on the City's latest efforts for homeless and unstably housed residents including the development of a Homeless Response Strategy and Expenditure Plan.

Narrow Streets Parking Ordinance

After Mountain View voters approved the Measure C ballot measure by nearly 57% in the November 2020 election, the City of Mountain View began implementing what is referred to as the Narrow Streets Ordinance. The ordinance bans the parking of oversized vehicles, including boats, large trucks and recreational vehicles (RVs), to address traffic safety concerns on streets that are 40 feet wide or less.
