USING DATA TO MAKE OUR CASE
Through Home Not Found, the largest cost study ever conducted to analyze the public cost of homelessness and the Silicon Valley Triage Tool, we are able to understand the true cost of homelessness in this County, predict outcomes and use pubic resources to more efficiently help the most vulnerable individuals.
HOW CHANGE WILL HAPPEN
In Santa Clara County, close to 10,000 of our neighbors are without a home on any given night – but this is not a reality we have to accept.
By working together, we can end homelessness in Silicon Valley, And the roadmap for achieving this ambitious goal is the 2020-2025 Community Plan to End Homelessness – which outlines a three pronged approach to addressing this crisis:
Strategy 1
Address the root causes of homelessness through system and policy change
Strategy 2
Expand homelessness prevention and housing programs to meet the need
Strategy 3
Improve quality of life for unsheltered individuals and create healthy neighborhoods for allTHE SOLUTION
Housing First is a homeless assistance approach that prioritizes providing people experiencing homelessness with permanent housing as quickly as possible – and then providing voluntary supportive services as needed. Rapid-Rehousing and prevention services are effective intervention methods for individuals and families who have recently become homeless or who are at risk of homelessness.
