We urge Santa Clara County residents to vote Yes on “Measure A”, a bond measure passed unanimously by the Santa Clara Board of Supervisors to create affordable housing for people with disabilities and other vulnerable citizens.
The people with developmental disabilities whom we serve at Greater Opportunities were typically born and raised here. This is their home community. Yet, many experience enormous difficulty finding affordable housing.
Our consumers typically receive support for food, clothing, and shelter from Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Payments are capped at $889 per month. This amount reaches only 90% of the Federal Poverty Level - far below what it actually costs to live on the Peninsula.
Providing adequate housing for our most vulnerable citizens is a moral imperative. Show your fellow community members that you care. Vote Yes on Measure A on November 8.
