Addressing the Local Housing Crisis
Santa Clara County is in a striking housing crisis, experiencing some of the highest housing costs in the nation. As a part of the solution to this challenge, SCCHA builds communities by developing quality housing offered at affordable rents. These development activities include site acquisition, community outreach, site and building planning and design, and construction.
SCCHA is a Good Neighbor and Community Member
In addition to providing housing to those most in need in our community, SCCHA is an active part of our community and strives to be a good neighbor. This begins when we first approach a new development site, seeking feedback from neighbors, community leaders and other stakeholders. Our commitment to healthy community relations continues with an open line of communication throughout construction and operations.
We’re in this for the long haul. SCCHA has been serving the Santa Clara County community for over half a century. We are dedicated to continuing this critical work of helping families and communities build stability.

Like many endeavors this size, it takes a village to bring our affordable housing communities to fruition. We partner with the County in addition to our local cities, including the City of San Jose. Our real estate activities support several strategies and initiatives in the County’s Community Plan to End Homelessness, including prioritizing the development of housing for extremely low-income individuals and expanding permanent supportive housing.
In addition to public agencies, we partner with construction firms, architects and engineers, environmental engineers, appraisers, market analysts, and a variety of other partners to help develop our communities.
