Neighborhood Hands helps the City of San Jose launch a family reunification pilot program: Homeward Bound

Picture
"While the humanitarian crisis playing out on our streets is overwhelmingly due to a severe lack of affordable housing in San Jose – an issue which our community CAN’T ignore or downplay – our unhoused neighbors face many barriers in their extremely unique journeys out of homelessness. We are grateful to the City for providing short term flexible funding for unhoused neighbors seeking to reunite with their loved ones through the Homeward Bound program, and look forward to helping facilitate this work at Neighborhood Hands over the coming months." - Neighborhood Hands

Learn more about the Homeward Bound program via NBC Bay Area News, San Jose Spotlight, or emailing homewardbound@sanjoseca.gov.

​Community efforts result in a "win" as new TRUST funding is approved by the City of  San Jose.

Learn more about the TRUST program and why it's so important that the most qualified and relevantly trained crisis responders — behavioral health professionals — are the ones engaging with neighbors during moments of extreme vulnerability. This would not have been possible without the effort of Silicon Valley DeBug, Race Equity and Community Safety (RECS), SURJ Santa Clara County, and many others. To all who made it happen, our hat is off to you!

​A major milestone: our 200th program!

​Arresting our way out of homelessness is not the answer.

Founding Board Member, Program Co-Leader, and Neighborhood Hands GIANT, London Foreman, passes after battle with cancer.

An absolute giant in our community, London's influence and impact on Neighborhood Hands can't be overstated. A founding board member, program co-leader since day one, and an all-around magnet of a human being, London's ability to connect with his neighbors was second to none. 

It's no exaggeration to say that books could be written about this man's resiliency and ability to retain a positive perspective through life's challenges. He was truly a remarkable human and neighbor, to which the above slideshow and his memorial service can attest. 

In January of 2023, London spoke about his hopes for Neighborhood Hands for the future (listen below). You are so dearly missed, King London. RIP.
