Formerly known as Homeless Services Center, Housing Matters is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit and the largest local organization addressing homelessness in Santa Cruz County. Our mission is to partner with individuals and families to create pathways out of homelessness into permanent housing.

Donor contributions support our emergency shelter programs (including housing navigation and placement), personalized case management, day services with showers and bathrooms open to the public, on-site supportive services, and the construction of permanent supportive housing—now underway—for our unhoused neighbors most in need.

We hold firmly to the vision that homelessness in our community should be rare, brief, and non-recurring. If you share that same vision, consider joining us! Take a look at our current job openings, or contact us about volunteer opportunities.
