For over 50 years, Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County has changed lives for good by helping strengthen families and building economic self-sufficiency. Each year we serve 27,000 poor and vulnerable individuals of all cultures and beliefs through a broad base of programs including housing services, job skills training and placement, older adult services, mental health and substance abuse counseling, financial education, immigration, refugee resettlement, and children and youth services and education.

Our compassion and commitment extend beyond direct service to those in need, and compel us to address the root causes of poverty in Santa Clara County through our Social Policy education and advocacy efforts.

Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County is affiliated with the Diocese of San Jose, as its social service arm, and works with parishes to build partnerships and increase their capacity for service. However, the agency is separately incorporated, is self-funded and operates as an independent nonprofit organization with a CEO, Board of Directors, and separate financial structure.

The agency is a voluntary member of Catholic Charities USA, the nation’s largest social services network, which serves over 7 million people each year.

Catholic Charities is a non-profit, non-discriminatory service organization and employer.
