About the Department

The City of San José Housing Department is a leader in the development of affordable housing. Its mission is to strengthen and revitalize the community through housing and neighborhood investment. With a Fiscal Year 2025-2026 operating budget of approximately $251 million and 128 employees, the Department administers multiple local, state, and federal funds. We are committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive work environment prioritizing social & racial equity and inclusion.

In Fiscal Year 2024–2025, the Housing Department underwent a significant reorganization to better align with the City’s strategy of strengthening the housing continuum and addressing the needs of unhoused and unsheltered residents. As part of this effort, the Department has placed greater emphasis on using data and technology to support housing programs, guide decision-making, and expand cross-departmental collaboration.

About the Data Operations & Project Support Team

This includes data integration with County partners, coordination for CalAIM, and administration of Salesforce systems such as Encampment Response Coordination System, the Rent Registry, and the Rent Stabilization Program. The team also develops and maintains the data feeds that inform the City Manager’s Office Focus Area Scorecards, which track progress on reducing unsheltered homelessness.

Future Direction of the Team
The Data Operations & Project Support Team is actively building capacity to meet the City’s increasing demand for high-quality data and systems support. Looking forward, the team will expand its role in integrating systems, strengthening data quality, and developing analytics and forecasting tools that inform both policy and operational decision-making. The team is also exploring opportunities to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance efficiency and expand analytical capabilities.

Team members thrive in a dynamic environment that values flexibility, agility, and collaboration. By joining this team, new staff will contribute to an evolving mission that is shaping how data is used across the Housing Department and City to improve services, support residents, and drive citywide impact.

AI and the Hiring Process

We recognize that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming part of daily life and can be a valuable tool for learning, research, and professional growth. We encourage candidates to use AI responsibly as a support in preparing application materials, live assessments, and interviews. However, we value authenticity, accuracy and truthfulness. Application responses and interview answers must reflect your own knowledge, skills, and experiences. While AI can supplement preparation, it cannot replace the originality and judgment we look for in our employees. This ensures fairness, transparency, and equity for all applicants in the hiring process.
