Our Mission
The Homeless Services Center is dedicated to the coordinated provision of services for homeless persons. The goal of the Homeless Services Center is to provide both emergency and transitional services to homeless individuals and families that will enable our clients to achieve self-sufficiency.
Thank you all for making this holiday season special for so many - Let's keep the momentum going and make strides towards ending homelessness and extreme poverty in our community in 2012!
Upcoming ways to support HSC:
This Winter Quarter at UCSC, participate in some of the open-to-the-public classes of Sociology 160: Project Homeless Connect, with Santa Cruz Mayor Don Lane, our Executive Director Monica Martinez, and Samantha Green of Applied Survey Research - classes are Wednesdays at 7:30 in the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium's Tony Hill Room through March.
Get involved in our collaborative venture with the MAH: Evergreen Cemetery Revitalization. February 11 at 10am will be a kick-off community clean-up (homeless volunteers from HSC programs have been working with the MAH since October!).
March 15: Thank You Thursday at Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing - $1 from every pint sold will go to benefit HSC programs. Thanks SCMB!

Our website is in need of an overhaul, and we are in the process of raising funds for this important project. If you would like to contribute to the costs of this vital outreach tool, you may do so by designating your gift to Project Outreach.
