Veterans Programs
We have the largest population of homeless Veterans (600+) in Santa Clara County. We consider it our duty to support our Veterans in any way we can. Thus, we have made it our mission to provide food, clothing, free of charge counseling, and workshops where we connect Veterans with resources such as temporary housing, educational/employment opportunities and medical/dental services to assist them in transitioning into a more desired living situation.
