Plan 3.0: Uniting San José: A City of Inclusion and Belonging 2025-2030 Welcoming San José
Message from the Mayor
Dear San José Community,
It is my privilege to share Welcoming San José 3.0, our City’s continued commitment to fostering a community where all residents—no matter where they come from—feel welcomed, supported, and empowered to succeed.

San José has always been a city of opportunity, built by generations of individuals and families who arrived with hopes for a better future. Their contributions have shaped local culture, strengthened our economy, and helped define who we are today.

This updated plan reflects our shared vision of a city where everyone can thrive. It outlines practical steps to ensure that all residents, including newcomers, can access the resources, connections, and support they need to build their lives here— and to feel a true sense of belonging.

As we move forward, I invite every resident to be a part of this effort. Whether through community involvement, supporting local businesses, or simply offering a warm welcome to a new neighbor, your actions make a difference.

Together, we will continue to build a San José that is not only a place to live, but a place to call home.

Sincerely,
Matt Mahan
Mayor, City of San José

Mayor of San José
“This updated plan outlines practical steps
to ensure that all residents, including
newcomers, can access the resources,
connections, and support they need to
build their lives here—and to feel a true
sense of belonging.”
Dear Community,
I am dedicated to ensuring San José remains a
certified Welcoming City, where belonging,
inclusion, and humanity are at the forefront of
everything we do. Closing Racial Inequities is one of
my Foundational Strategic Support Focus Areas and
I am committed to this work and pleased with our
progress.

It gives me great pride to have worked with the City
Council in unanimously adopting an equity
ordinance and policy, establishing values and
standards for all City of San José employees and
residents. We are a city that fosters a welcoming
environment by proudly embracing its cultural
richness, treating residents and visitors with dignity
and respect, and extending compassion to those
who arrive in San José.

San José is a city shaped by the incredible diversity
and innovation of its people. With nearly 40% of our
residents born outside the United States and almost
60% speaking a language other than English, our
community is a true reflection of global perspectives.

Immigrants have always been essential to the story
of San José and Silicon Valley — strengthening our
local economy, enriching our cultural landscape, Message from the City Manager

“I invite you to join in creating a truly
welcoming community by building
connections with neighbors - both
long-time residents and those who
have recently arrived.”
Dear San José Community,
I am honored to share Welcoming San José 3.0 with
you—a plan that reflects the heart of our city and the
incredible people who call it home. San José has
always been a place of hope and opportunity,
shaped by generations of immigrants who have
brought their dreams, resilience, and contributions
to every corner of our community. This plan is a
promise—a commitment to making sure that
everyone, no matter where they come from, feels a
true sense of belonging here.

As the Director of the Office of Racial and Social
Equity, I have had the privilege of hearing the stories of our immigrant neighbors—stories of challenge,
perseverance, and triumph. I’ve met families who
have built businesses from the ground up, students
who are the first in their families to attend college,
and community leaders who work tirelessly to uplift
those around them. Their journeys inspire this work
and remind us why it matters so deeply.

San José is at its best when we stand together and
ensure that every person has the opportunity to live
out their dreams. This plan is not just about

policies—it’s about people. It’s about ensuring
that our city remains a place where everyone feels
safe, supported, and valued. It’s about
strengthening the bonds that connect us and
building a future where inclusion is not just an
ideal, but a reality.

This work is not something any one department
or organization can do alone—it takes all of us.

Whether you are a long-time resident, a
newcomer, a business owner, or a community
advocate, you have a role to play in making San
José a truly welcoming city. I invite you to join us
in this effort—to listen, to learn, and to take action.

Together, we will continue to build a future where
everyone belongs.

In community,

background, can thrive. Through this strategic plan, San José reaffirms its role as both the "Capital of Silicon Valley" and as a growing, vibrant, and culturally rich place to live by the Welcoming America framework and
aligns with the City’s Racial and Social Equity
Ordinance and Equity Values and Standards Policy.

The Office of Racial and Social Equity (ORSE) plays a central role in driving this work, ensuring that policies, programs, and practices are designed to eliminate institutional
barriers and create a welcoming environment for all.

The Welcoming San José Plan 2025-2030
outlines the City of San José’s commitment to
fostering a warm welcoming environment to those who
arrive, including immigrants, helping them feel like they belong and have a valued place within our community.

Building upon the successes and lessons learned from
previous Welcoming Plans, this plan is guided
Executive Summary
WELCOMING SAN JOSÉ PLAN 2025-2030
The Welcoming San José Plan includes 7 Focus Areas and corresponding Goals:
for almost a million residents. Over 40% of residents who call San José home identify as immigrants, the majority of whom have been long-settled in the United States for
more than 10 years. Due to this legacy, San José seeks to continuously evolve, to improve the experience and
engagement of its immigrant communities and create
enduring racial and social equity.

imperatives to ensure marked progresstoward shared goals..

Since the inception of its first formalWelcoming San José Plan in 2015, the Cityhas sought to engage community leadersand internal partners to develop aWelcoming Plan that has since resulted innotable headway in widening languageaccessibility and integrating the lens ofracial justice across initiatives. Thisincludes, but is not limited to thefollowing:

Equity Ordinance and Values and Standards

accountable equity practices.

INSTITUTIONALIZING EQUITY:
2 WELCOMING SAN JOSÉ PLAN 2025-2030
an urgent opportunity to think and collaboratedifferently within City Departments and withcommunity partners to help everyone navigatecoming changes to immigration policy andpractice. Because studies have shown that 60%of San José's small business owners are fromethnic or minority backgrounds and over halfare immigrants, this Plan also seeks tostrengthen the economic and cultural vitalityof these communities to build long-termresiliency in the region in addition to itsongoing focus on welcoming and accessibilityto services for all immigrant communities inSan José.

ORSE understands that building a WelcomingCity requires an intersectional strategy that TRANSPARENCY IN ACTION:
integrates its efforts. Its work around
inclusion and belonging, accessibility, and
racial equity are mutually reinforcing and
cannot succeed in isolation, particularly in
the face of shifting political climates
impacting our immigrant communities. This
is the approach we embody as we continue
to build a more welcoming San José.

This document highlights the plan and early
action steps for building a Welcoming San
José for the next five years.

STRATEGIC IMPERATIVES FOR
WELCOMING SAN JOSÉ 2025-2030 PLAN
The rapidly-evolving US political context following the 2024 Election had a significant influence on the conversation, analysis, and thinking about action steps for this iteration of the Welcoming plan. Input from both internal staff stakeholders as well as community partners who participated in the development of this plan underscored the necessity of highlighting a set of Strategic Imperatives that reflect key differences from previous years’ plans and clarify the mindset for moving forward.

ACKNOWLEDGE URGENCY
The context for this Welcoming Strategy
is not about “nice-to-have” engagement
with immigrant communities; while
political discourse may change over
time, the City is in a moment where it
must clearly name and take clear action
to live its values. How can San José, CA
continue to be both the “Capital of
Silicon Valley” AND the “Crossroads of
the World,” simultaneously?

STAND IN APPRECIATIVE INQUIRY
Currently, many programs for
immigrant populations treat the work
as a “problem to be solved” and not the
“opportunity to unleash” an
unparalleled economic and social
engine for positive growth and long-
term resilience. While there are social
challenges to consider, approaching
them with curiosity and openness allows
the City to recognize and build upon the
strengths of its residents, fostering
growth and enhancing what is already
working well.

Across Community and City
engagement processes, many noted
the negative narrative frame of people
who have migrated to our community
as “criminal,” or being otherwise wrong
or bad for taking the journey.

Intentionally, this plan centers its
approach on the systems and
processes that immigrant communities
must navigate—aiming to clarify and
simplify them—while deliberately
steering away from emphasizing
interpersonal differences or reinforcing
notions of “otherness.”
Much of the design and
communications about different
programs and interaction forums
assume a baseline of trust in hosting
organizations’ authority or good
intentions. Many are noticing that the
City has an opportunity to be more
forward-looking—and actions and
communications must be developed
accordingly.

Improve customer service for English Language Learners and recent arrivals by reviewing and providing learning opportunities for City staff to make information, processes, and the environment meaningful and useable for as many people as possible. New or updated training may include how to work with interpreters and technological tools, and how to access translation and interpretation services.

P

REVIOUS WELCOMING PLANS
SUCCEEDED BY involving the
community, evolving over time,

requires a deliberate investment from all sectors.

With an evolving national political discourse that
threatens the economic stability of not only San
José residents, but the fundamental structures of
our local systems, a bold, collaborative set of local
strategies that is rooted in universal values that
transcend geographic boundaries are crucial.

The City of San José has shown a strong
commitment to creating a welcoming
environment for immigrants from all backgrounds.

While significant progress has been made, our
review and collaborative planning highlight key
areas that still require considerable attention to
ensure that all community members feel
connected, valued, and welcome.

This Plan provides a clear path for advancing from
a reactive to a proactive approach, focusing on
solutions that create possibilities. As we move
forward, we are reminded that building a truly
Welcoming San José requires intentional
collaboration across inclusion and belonging, racial
and social equity, and accessibility efforts. These
elements are interconnected and cannot thrive in
isolation, particularly during times of shifting
political climates that impact our immigrant
communities.

For San José to continue to grow as a vibrant,
inclusive city, it will take a united effort and
partnership from City officials, community leaders,
and residents. By embracing these
recommendations and fostering ongoing
communication, we can ensure that our city
remains a place where every resident feels heard
and valued. Together, we can set the standard for
what it means to be a truly welcoming and
inclusive major city.
