Parkinson’s disease made it impossible for Pedro Morales to keep working as a janitor. His income stopped – but the bills didn’t. Housing and groceries only got more expensive. Guaranteed income helped Pedro and his family bridge a critical gap. destinationhomesv.org/guaranteed-in…

Quote from Pedro Morales, an Aging with Dignity pilot program participant: Everything has just gotten so expensive. I think that, without the guaranteed income, we would have ended up living on the street.

Our region’s cost of living keeps climbing, leaving more low-income seniors behind. Guaranteed income can help close the gap. See how our Aging with Dignity pilot program with Sacred Heart Community Service is helping elders age with dignity: destinationhomesv.org/guaranteed-in…

Quote from Amelia Morales, an Aging with Dignity pilot program participant: I don’t have words to say how much this has helped us. For example, with buying food, with our rent... I would have liked to receive the guaranteed income sooner, earlier in life.

We’re proud to partner with the Santa Clara University School of Law, the Law Foundation of Silicon Valley, and Santa Clara County Public Defender’s Office to bring legal services/support to more unhoused individuals. ow.ly/caNw50ZJ2Fn

Quote from a Santa Clara University Public Health Student: Working with people experiencing homelessness and displacement has been one of the most humanizing experiences I have had in my public health courses… From this experience, I have found many individuals who remind me of my own family... It can be easy to get caught up in our routines and overlook people living on the margins, but once you begin to have real conversations, you see how much we all share in common.

Quote from Alison Brunner, Law Foundation of Silicon Valley Chief Executive Officer: Our organization works year round to prevent and end homelessness, and our Unhoused Advocacy Project is a critical part of those efforts. By leveraging legal expertise across our Housing and Health programs, we are able to meet individual legal needs and advocate for fairer systems.

Quote from Public Defender’s Office: Destination: Home is a natural partner for the Office of the Public Defender. Both agencies serve to support our most vulnerable communities in Santa Clara County. Our clients know we care by the way we show up for them, consistently and thoughtfully. We focus on crafted inbound strategies that grow the client towards long term success. Public safety is achieved when our clients are healthy, stable, and met with supportive compassion.

Hollywood studios greenlight movies they believe will turn a profit. Housing works similarly. “The problem comes when we expect that system to produce something that doesn’t generate enough revenue to pay for itself,” says Destination: Home’s COO Ray Bramson in his new San José Spotlight column.

San José Spotlight column by Destination: Home COO Ray Bramson: Bramson: What Hollywood can teach us about California’s housing crisis. Quote from the column reads: Summer blockbusters are built around a pretty straightforward idea: spend a lot of money to make something people will pay to see… Housing operates under some of the same basic rules. Money flows most readily toward housing that can generate enough revenue to justify the cost of building it.

Is #prevention a sustainable solution to homelessness? KQED News highlighted our local Homelessness Prevention System as one example that works. www.kqed.org/news/12093953/a-simple…

Quote by Destination: Home CEO Jennifer Loving in KQED, A Simple Way to Prevent Homelessness Is Growing in San Francisco. Is It Sustainable?: Our partnership is deeply rooted with the city of San José and the county of Santa Clara, and they both contribute dollars to our system-wide prevention model. But it didn’t start out that way. If we would have tried to sustain this with only private dollars, it wouldn’t be sustainable.
