WHY HOUSING?
Our corpsmembers cannot afford to live in our community
Addressing our corpsmembers' most substantial barrier to success
-
Despite earning a competitive wage (at least $20.85 an hour) at SJCC+CS, corpsmembers are struggling to live in the community they call home
-
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
