Homelessness Prevention System

Housing Choices is also a partner in the Santa Clara County Homelessness Prevention System and is able to seek emergency rental assistance for qualifying households who are at immediate risk of becoming homeless.

Through the many years of work we’ve done through Housing Coordination, we discovered that a significant number of our clients were currently homeless, and that serving them required a greater time commitment and more resources. In response, Housing Choice’s homeless program was born, meeting the demand for these clients in greater need of support. We focus first on helping them with short-term housing options, and then with getting them into a consistent and long-term housing situation.
