Silicon Valley is recognized as a leader in innovative and inclusive social issues, and homelessness is an epidemic in this country. Supported by the County Board of Supervisors and in collaboration with Life Moves, a unique shelter has opened in downtown San Jose that focuses on serving the LGBTQ+ population.
Only second in the nation, NEW HAVEN INN receives clients through referral, and it provides a safe, warm and welcoming environment through counselors knowledgeable about the specific challenges faced by this population.
Silicon Valley Rainbow Rotary supports New Haven Inn staff efforts to equip residents to restore self-sufficiency and stable housing. Rotary's dinner program brings a warm meal to house residents monthly to allow residents to interface with the community and create meaningful contacts. To be a part of this program or sponsor a meal, contact Sandie Day at (408) 644-3593.
