The Jungle, Tent city near Story Road, San Jose, US
The Jungle spread across a large area beneath an overpass, containing numerous makeshift shelters and temporary structures for homeless individuals.
During 2013, the encampment reached its peak population with 175 residents, making it one of the largest homeless settlements in North America.
The settlement reflected broader social changes in California cities, where increasing housing costs forced many residents into temporary living situations.
Local outreach organizations provided basic necessities and medical services to residents until the camp closure and resident relocation in December 2014.
The location contained multiple sections with different living conditions, from basic tent arrangements to more established structures with improvised utilities.
