Introducing The SCC Homelessness Prevention System (HPS)!
The Santa Clara County Homelessness Prevention System (HPS) is a countywide network of agencies working together to prevent homelessness.
As a member of this network, HomeFirst believes that homelessness prevention is key to maintaining healthy, safe communities.
We are relentlessly focused on helping people in need find and keep permanent housing
Homelessness is a social justice issue.
The opposite of poverty is not wealth, it is justice. - Bryan Stevenson in Just Mercy
