Homelessness continues to be a serious issue in Sunnyvale and Santa Clara County. In 2023, the County housed 13,817 individuals, but for every household housed, another 1.7 became homeless.

We will hear from Santa Clara County Office of Supportive Housing Director Consuelo Hernandez about the various Santa Clara County programs to address this growing problem.

The Office of Supportive Housing’s (OSH) mission is "to increase the supply of housing and supportive housing that is affordable and available to extremely low income and /or special needs households. OSH supports the County mission of promoting a healthy, safe, and prosperous community by ending and preventing homelessness."

When: SATURDAY, April 27th, 2 to 4 pm
