Housing / Shelter

Abode Services is the largest homeless housing and services provider in the Bay Area. As part of our growth in response to the region’s housing and homelessness crisis, we now operate nearly 60 programs that aim to rehouse people in need as quickly as possible. The combination of housing programs and wraparound social services forms the core of our approach to ending homelessness.

Services

Abode’s social services department coordinates health and supportive services for participants in shelter and supportive housing programs, offering comprehensive on-site assistance. Abode has also cultivated strong relationships with more than 40 local service providers to connect participants to additional services. The on-site services that we provide at housing sites include job training, parenting classes, financial literacy, computer training, case management, health education and activities, and many others.

Abode Services has been working in Santa Clara County since 2009. Our efforts there include providing outreach, housing support, and rental assistance, as well as creating and managing affordable housing.

Featured Programs

OPPORTUNITY CENTER

For years, the Opportunity Center in Palo Alto has a been a haven for people in need of services or a roof over their head — or both. The housing site in the heart of Silicon Valley has 88 affordable apartments and offers a wide range of services for hundreds of homeless people in the Bay Area’s mid-Peninsula.

Community Working Group (CWG) developed the Opportunity Center in 2006, in partnership with the Housing Authority of the County of Santa Clara.

PROJECT WELCOME HOME

Abode Services has been partnering with Santa Clara County on a program that combines permanent supportive housing and community-based clinical services to help the most vulnerable and at-risk members of the South Bay community. The program is called Project Welcome Home, which was California’s first Pay for Success project. Project Welcome Home has aimed to rehouse as many as 200 chronically homeless individuals who are frequent users of the county’s emergency rooms, jails, and acute mental health facilities.

Abode Services has placed 16,391 people into permanent housing since 2010. Last year, we assisted more than 14,700 people in our programs.

We serve a wide range of people, including children, adults, families, veterans, single parents, seniors, chronically homeless individuals, and more.
