There is a rightful expectation of every person we serve. We hold ourselves to a high standard of performance, integrity, and accountability.

Collaboration leads to powerful results
We foster collaborative relationships with those we serve, their families, and service providers, as well as with developers, property managers and the public sector

Inclusion transforms communities.
We celebrate diversity, knowing that inclusion of people with different incomes and abilities in community housing enriches the life of the entire community

A Heartbeat Away from a Housing Crisis: Measure A housing for People with Developmental Disabilities

On September 11, 2018, the Santa Clara Board of Supervisors will vote on a proposal to include people with developmental disabilities on the Measure A housing bond, which finances affordable housing for "vulnerable populations". If the proposal passes, 5% of the $800 million, already dedicated to creating affordable rental housing, will be used to help a more diverse population by including people with developmental disabilities .

Currently, the County is only spending Measure A housing bond funds for affordable housing projects that house people drawn from the County's Continuum of Care database of homeless people, people episodically homeless, and people who have received a notice terminating their housing. This is extremely important, but it overlooks adults with developmental disabilities living at home with aging parents.

We at Housing Choices always strive to give our friends and family living with developmental disabilities a voice and a home. If you would like to support the cause and make a difference, please click below to learn more or fill out our form!
