Helping the Homeless in Our Community - January 24

Santa Clara County is the 19th wealthiest county in America. The median household income is more than $87,000, but it is estimated that 135,000 of our neighbors live in poverty and more than 12,000 are homeless every year. Ever wonder how to help someone who is without resources? As winter approaches, what can we do to help? Does it help to give money to people on the street?


Julia Burkhead, Program Director for Women and Family Services at InnVision, will educate attendees on resources and services available in our community and share her insight on the best ways individuals can effectively help those who are homeless.


This event is free and open to the public. Date: January 24, Time: 7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. Place: Santa Teresa Branch Library (290 International Circle, San Jose 95119 )


InnVision is Silicon Valley's leading provider of housing and services for homeless families and individuals. InnVision served more than 27,000 people in need last year at their 26 program sites in Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties.
