Housing Trust of Santa Clara County

Housing Trust of
Santa Clara County

Housing Trust of Santa Clara County Martha, Jim and their two children Emma, 7, and Max, 2, in the front yard of the San Jose home they purchased with help from the Housing Trust's first-time homebuyer program. CFSV is a partner in the Housing Trust, along with the Silicon Valley Manufacturing Group, Santa Clara County, and the County Collaborative for Housing and Homelessness. CFSV is also home to the Sobrato Family Affordable Housing Fund, a revolving loan fund that supports the creation of affordable multi-family and transitional housing.

"We need homes for teachers and firefighters, for those working in our grocery stores and in community service. That's why our family created a $10-million fund that provides interest-free loans to nonprofit, affordable-housing developers. It's a natural complement to the work that the Housing Trust Fund is doing to help our working families have safe, affordable, quality places to live." John A. Sobrato and John Michael Sobrato, Sobrato Family Affordable Housing Fund at CFSV
