"We are delighted to have this opportunity to reach out to a larger audience.
There are many people, in and out of Silicon Valley, who are unaware of the large numbers
of homeless families and individuals InnVision serves," says Christine Burroughs,
InnVisions Executive Director. Event sponsors include KICU, The Silicon Valley
Chamber of Commerce, Pfizer, Eric Electronics, and Abbott Laboratories.
It is estimated that over 20,000 individuals will be homeless in Santa Clara County
this year. A recent poll found that 78% of residents are anxious about the shortage of
affordable housing.
InnVision helps people who have become homeless to make lasting changes in their lives,
through a system of care encompassing emergency services, transitional housing, job search
assistance, mental health services, and employment training.
