Santa Clara County is poised to spend more than $122 million on homelessness this fiscal year, and most of the money is going to one nonprofit.
A San José Spotlight review of documents from the county’s Office of Supportive Housing (OSH) shows Abode Services is the county’s largest homeless support service provider. The nonprofit has 15 of the county’s 67 homeless service contracts or 41%, with a total value of more than $50 million in the county’s fiscal year 2025-26 budget.
Overall, Santa Clara County contracts with 15 nonprofits to provide services for the county’s 10,711 homeless residents. An OSH spokesperson said the contracts vary in types of service, from wrap-around case management and rental assistance to temporary shelters, including tiny homes, hotels and congregate programs.
