WHY HOUSING?
Our corpsmembers cannot afford to live in our community
Addressing our corpsmembers' most substantial barrier to success

-
30% of corpsmembers are housing insecure
-
Young adults are being priced out of Santa Clara County
-
With access to supportive housing, corpsmembers can focus on education and career growth
