SANTA CLARA — A 30-unit interim housing complex for homeless families may soon be erected on a parcel of county-owned land on the corner of Lawrence Expressway and Benton Street.Following a contentious meeting that spanned the last two Tuesday evenings and ran late into the night, the Santa Clara City Council voted 4 to 3 to partner with Santa Clara County and the non-profit LifeMoves on the potential project.

As the planet went down the stellar hatch, there was a swift hot outburst of light, fol...
