Volunteers needed:

Our community provides emergency shelter to homeless women and children. We
have been engaged in this ministry for over 30 years. Sadly we are among those
CW houses that has experienced a loss of full-time, long-term community members
in recent years, imperiling our mission of service to a few of the 7000 people
homeless in our area.

Our greatest need is for those who wish to make this a way of life for
several years or more. It is only with such folks that a community can thrive.
We also accept short-term (6 ths -1 yr) members & some students over the
summer,

Most of our scheduled work is in the mornings & evenings and on weekend
days. It may be possible for community members to maintain a part-time job or
take a class during the weekday.

Prior community living, volunteer experience, and understanding of the needs
of homeless women are helpful. Needed skills include cooking, cleaning, house
maintenance, gardening, newsletter production and community out-reach. A
commitment to non-violence, simple living and a faith-based lifestyle are
required. Please have an open-mind & heart , a sense of humor, & lots of
flexibility.

OUR MISSION

TO PROVIDE SHELTER AND SUPPORTIVE SERVICES TO HOMELESS FAMILIES IN SANTA CLARA COUNTY, TO EMPOWER THEM TO MOVE FROM HOMELESSNESS TO SELF-SUFFICIENCY IN OUR COMMUNITY

---

QUICK FACTS

In Santa Clara County, an estimated 20,000 people experience homelessness each year.  Of these people, at least 25 percent are under the age of 18.

Families with children represent the fastest growing segment of the homeless population, constituting approximately 40% of people who become homeless. 

Over 70 percent of the residents at the Shelter are children and most are under the age of ten.

One-fourth of all homeless people work, but their wages are too low for them to afford permanent housing.

Family Supportive Housing is the only shelter in Santa Clara County that exclusively services families – intact families and single parents with children.
