What is the Homeless Shelter Program?
Since 1990, CSDC has managed the local homeless shelter program in cooperation with a local governmental agency (Community Services and Workforce Development). The homeless shelter is located on Southside Road in the unincorporated area of San Benito County. This program serves 30 homeless families annually, consisting of approximately 56 adults and 80 children. CSDC acts as the property manager for the homeless shelter by maintaining the housing units and surrounding grounds.
