Homeless Prevention

For every two unhoused individuals who gains access to housing, three more lose their homes. That’s why we aim to stop homelessness before it starts, by providing emergency rental and deposit assistance to qualified South County renters.

  • Emergency Rental Assistance

    In partnership with Seasons of Sharing, Housing Industry Fund, we offer emergency rental assistance to those on the brink of homelessness. We also provide deposit assistance to help with move-in costs.

    Our case management team works with tenants to asses their eligibility for the program and also assists them in completing their applications. We also provide tenants with resources to increase their capacity to keep up with future rent payments.

    If you are a tenant in need of rental assistance or deposit assistance, and reside in Gilroy, Morgan Hill, or San Martin, and have never applied before, please call, or email, us for an appointment (408) 763-7120 or mariah@thecompassioncenter.org.

    Please note, you must be renting in South Santa Clara County (Gilroy, Morgan Hill, or San Martin), and have not received assistance in the past. Other restrictions may apply.
