This year, we are highlighting the good works of Family Supportive Housing of San Jose. For over 30 years, their mission has been to help families that are experiencing homelessness to remain intact, while addressing each family’s needs for food, shelter, employment and education.

Most of the families served by FSH are not chronically homeless — many struggle with Silicon Valley’s shortage of affordable housing and work opportunities for people with limited education. One unexpected illness, or a landlord’s decision to sell, and a family can find itself out on the street. FSH uses a two-phase approach to combat homelessness: first, a family’s basic human needs are met and they are returned to housing as quickly as possible. In phase two, the family receives the necessary support to become self-sufficient, following a step-by-step plan based on their own unique needs.

SJWS commends Family Supportive Housing for their kind and thoughtful approach to the homelessness epidemic. We strongly encourage our musicians and audience members — and their families and friends — to donate generously to this worthy organization. Representatives from FSH will be available at the concert to answer questions and to accept your donations. To donate online, use the following QR code or go to familysupportivehousing.org/donate.
