LOCAL Closer Look: South County Compassion Center in Gilroy CA Serving Homelessness

Posted on Sunday, August 25, 2024 by Kindra Ponzio

Kindra Ponzio talks with Tim Davis, Exec Dir, South Co Compassion Center. Davis tells us that Gilroy has more homeless people per capita, than any other city in the Santa Clara County. Some of the services they provide are, Safe Parking, transitional housing, rental assistance to keep people housed, food, clothing and wrap around services. Davis tells us that it is much easier to keep people housed than to try to rehouse them once they've become homeless.
