SYSTEM PERFO RMANCE
The systemic factors driving homelessness are stron-
ger than ever, and forcing more of our community
members onto the streets and into shelters every day.
The 2020-2025 Community Plan to End Homelessness
guides our community’s collective work to reverse the
current growth in homelessness and bring us closer
to our goal of ending homelessness in Santa Clara
County. We are forging new partnerships, changing
systems, and investin g strategically to accomplish
meaningful progress, however, we must continue to
scale up these effective solutions to reduce overall
homelessness in our community. To learn more visit

KEY INITIATIVES
BUILDING MORE
PERMANENTLY
AFFORDABLE HOUSING
Our community is aligning public
resources — like the Measure A
housing bond, Housing Authority
vouchers and San Jose’s Measure E
transfer tax — and private funds from
partners such as Cisco and Apple,
to spur 56 deeply affordable and
supportive housing developments.
ENDING FAMILY
HOMELESSNESS
In 2021, partne rs laun ched the
HEADING HOME campaign to end
family homelessness. Leveraging
federal emergency housing vouchers
and other resources, the campaign
has enrolled all eligible families with
children in a housing program.
PREVENTING
HOMELESSNESS
Launched as a pilot seven years ago, a
broad public-private partnership has
expanded the countywide Home-
lessness Prevention System to serve
more than 2,500 households a year,
by providing at-risk households with
relatively small amounts of money and
key support services.
DEPLOYING NEW
SHELTER MODELS
Local jurisd ictions are embra cing
new emergency and interim shelter
models - like modular developments,
tiny homes and hotel conversions - to
quickly provide dignified shelter for
people on their path to permanent
housing. Hundreds of additional units
