Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County’s Supportive Housing Services has a new housing program for homeless families currently in shelters.  < ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Housing Specialists from Catholic Charities will help families locate and secure apartments to rent or lease throughout < ?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Santa Clara County. The families will pay 30% of their annual gross income as rent. Homeless families without any income stream may also qualify for assistance.

The program is intended to help homeless parents gain or increase their income through case management, employment counseling services and financial education services.  There are also some funds available for childcare during educational workshops and other activities related to employment.  Bus tokens or passes will be made available to help parents achieve their goals.

In order to be considered for the program, eligible parents:

• Must have full custody of at least one child under the age of 18
• Must be currently living in a homeless shelter.
• Must have one certified disabled adult family member. 

Some special categorical needs, such as domestic violence, veteran status, and geographical location may be considered in reviewing the applications.

Anyone can refer an eligible family to our new program

If you have further questions about the program, please contact Edna Nagy at (408) 325-5100 x 309  or enagy@ccsj.org.
