Home Link · Silicon Valley · Est. 2026

A door
always open.

Home Link is a non-profit in formation, providing safe temporary housing — and a clear path to a permanent home — for our Silicon Valley neighbors experiencing homelessness.

01 — Our Mission

To meet people where they are and walk with them home.

Home Link exists to provide safe, immediate temporary housing for individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Silicon Valley — bridging the gap to permanent stability through a coordinated, dignity-first program of short-stay housing paired with wraparound services.

We are a non-profit in formation, building relationships with the government agencies, foundations, and community partners needed to open our first site. This page shares who we are, how we intend to operate, and where we need partners.

How Home Link moves a person from crisis to stability.

01
Phase · Intake

A safe place to sleep tonight.

Same-day referral from city outreach teams, hospitals, and community partners. Within hours, residents are matched to one of our temporary housing units.

Expand

No cost, no waitlist for emergency cases, no sobriety prerequisite. Our goal is to remove every friction between someone in crisis and a safe, private bed on the first night.

02
Phase · Stabilize

A private room, and room to breathe.

Each resident receives a private room, three meals, and a dedicated case manager — the practical scaffolding required to plan a next step.

Expand

On-site partners provide primary healthcare, mental-health support, employment counseling, and document recovery. Case managers work one-on-one with residents to build a clear transition plan.

Phase · Transition

A warm handoff to a home they keep.

We work alongside city housing authorities and landlord partners to place residents into long-term housing they can afford and keep.

Expand

Follow-up support continues for twelve months after move-out — home visits, check-ins, and rapid re-engagement if a resident risks falling back into homelessness. Prevention of re-entry is as central to our model as the first night.
