In 2017, the nonprofit saw more people in Santa Clara County falling into homelessness. It started a homelessness prevention program to provide rental assistance, case management and supportive services to hundreds of families on the brink of eviction, and received help from private funders to make the work possible.

"I thought I was going to be evicted because I couldn't come up with $2,500 unless I won the lottery," Green said.
