This happens everywhere, not just in Silicon Valley. Maybe I'm missing it, but where does this article give evidence that this is the biggest in the US?
My home town has 20k people, and has winters with weeks of sustained below 0F temperature. Yet, there is a forested section behind a low budget grocery store where a 30-50 person homeless community exists perpetually. I know this is smaller than the 175 mentioned in the article, but its in a 20k person winter town in the middle of nowhere.
