InnVision the Way Home

Founded in 1973, InnVision aims to help clients break the cycle of homelessness. This is done by offering various levels of emergency, transitional and permanent affordable housing and supportive multi-service centers at 26 sites from San Jose to Redwood City, CA.

Programs include the Housing & Support Programs, which provide temporary and emergency Shelters, transitional/longer-term, and permanent housing for those in need. The MultiService Drop-In Centers provide day services, resources, and tools for self-sufficiency, while Food Service Programs provide hot meals, groceries and fresh produce distributions through the Shelters & MultiService Centers.

To attain its goal of supporting individuals in reaching self-sufficiency, InnVision offers a “continuum of care” that assists homeless individuals and families both through their emergency and longer-term needs.

InnVision's mission is to empower homeless and at-risk families and individuals in finding a permanent home by offering various levels of housing and day programs in a safe and supportive environment that promotes self-worth and independent living.

In 2009, InnVision provided over 500,000 meals and over 195,000 nights of housing. In 2010 the program serves 1,400 clients per day.
