Providing For Today
Building For The Future
We’re joining forces to fight poverty in South Santa Clara County.
St. Joseph’s Family Center and South County Compassion Center are partnering in a joint vision to alleviate community poverty, diminish food and housing insecurity, strengthen the safety net for the most vulnerable, and provide essential support to the unhoused population. Our goal is to offer fresh opportunities for stability and a pathway to permanent housing, ultimately fostering a thriving community where all residents can enjoy an improved quality of life.
The Compassion Center provides for the immediate needs of South County residents who have lost their homes. We help restore hope, resolve barriers to a better life, and pave pathways to a home. To truly eradicate homelessness in our community, we need your help.
