An evening to celebrate YOU
Your generosity changes lives and helps to resolve homelessness in Santa Cruz County.
In the last two years alone, your donations have housed over 550 people. Together, we housed more people than the number that became homeless — but just barely. The small decrease in homelessness in Santa Cruz County is encouraging. Yet, it also demonstrates that many of our friends, family, and neighbors are falling into homelessness every day. We don’t yet know how many people will become homeless in 2019 or 2020. With your support, we can remain one step ahead. Let’s continue to chip away at homelessness in Santa Cruz County.

Here’s what you can look forward to at the 17th annual Housing Matters Gala:
Delightful fare from Areperia 831, a social enterprise cooking up world fusion flavors. The evening will feature delicious appetizers, a taco bar like you’ve never seen before, and a variety of desserts.
