Programs provide support for unhoused, abuse survivors.
Santa Clara County Supervisor Joe Simitian speaks at a May 12 grand opening event for the new market at West Valley Community Services in 2021.”The organization’s well-stocked food pantry in Cupertino is one part of the remedy” for food insecurity, Simitian says.
That’s where the county comes in. I’m delighted that the grants we’ve provided will help support and encourage these efforts, allowing local jurisdictions and organizations to determine how best to use the funding. With that in mind, our office led county support for WVCS’s mobile food pantry program, serving seniors, families and West Valley College students with weekly stops at sites across the West Valley, including Saratoga and Los Gatos.
To bridge this gap, I proposed county support for a training program for local community health centers and other community organizations to be able to identify and respond to intimate partner violence. People trust their local community health centers, where they often seek support for more than their physical health concerns. The training program we’ve pursued now ensures that these clinics will have the resources and expertise needed to connect survivors to the care and services they need.
