Changing Lives for Good
About us
Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County changes lives for good. We help people of all cultures and beliefs rise up out of poverty and overcome the barriers to self-sufficiency. Because most lives are a complex pattern of choices and circumstances, we take a holistic approach to helping people change their lives, taking into account the whole person as well as their family and life situations. We do this through a broad range of services, including job skills training and placement, older adult services, mental health and substance abuse counseling, housing assistance, financial education, immigration support, and refugee resettlement. We also provide educational programs that help young people develop into self-sufficient adults. Each year, we serve more than 120,000 people in need. Our compassion and commitment go beyond direct service and compel us to address the root causes of poverty. We launched Step Up Silicon Valley, a Movement to Cut Poverty, part of a nationwide effort started by Catholic Charities USA. We are working with a coalition of community-based organizations, interfaith allies, government representatives, and business leaders who are working to cut poverty in Santa Clara County. Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County has been serving individuals and families for 60+ years. While we are affiliated with the Diocese of San Jose, Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County is a separately incorporated nonprofit agency. We are self-funded and operate independently with a CEO, Board of Directors, and separate financial structure. We are part of the nation's largest social services network through our affiliation with Catholic Charities USA, which serves more than 9 million people each year.

Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County, Bridges of Hope Faith-Based Reentry, has been awarded the Counties Behavioral Health Hero award in May! From Left: Jesse Aguirre, Jennifer Ortega, Richard Blanco, Haley Handstad, and Sharon Miller. Bridges of Hope provides trauma-informed, client-centered, culturally appropriate services through case management, addressing barriers to self-sufficiency. We first greet people at the jail when released and direct them to Reentry. Once referred and enrolled with Bridges of Hope, services consist of an assessment, development of a wellness service plan, linkage to mental health, primary health, substance use treatment, shelter, transitional housing, and basic needs like food, hygiene, transportation, cell phone connection and a place to receive mail. We provide work clothes, assist with union dues, tattoo removal, anger management, certificate programs, education, and employment through Catholic Charities Right Directions; furniture, bedding and rental assistance once a person is ready for permanent housing. We attend court appointments and reconnect parents with their children. Our collaborative care model and diverse, multidisciplinary team of service navigators and case managers are essential to our integrated approach throughout Catholic Charities and the community.
