About Us
Housing Trust of Santa Clara County
The Housing Trust of Santa Clara County is a non-profit community-based organization dedicated to creating affordable housing opportunities in Santa Clara County, California through targeted investments in affordable multifamily rental homes, shelters for the homeless, special-needs housing, homelessness prevention and direct assistance for qualified first-time homebuyers. The Housing Trust of Santa Clara County is funded entirely through the voluntary contributions of local employers, foundations, governments and citizens. Since the Trust began distributing funds in August, 2001, they have helped thousands of families buy their first home, enabled the development of thousands of affordable rental homes, and helped create hundreds of units of shelter and special-needs housing in Silicon Valley, making it possible for people like teachers, police officers, firefighters, nurses and civic employees to live in the communities they serve. Every dollar the Trust has invested creates more than $40 of affordable housing: for current investment and leverage information, please see our monthly fact sheet at http://www.housingtrustscc.org/m3_s1.php.
