Development and Administration Officer

Overview

Destination:
Home, a 501(c)3 supporting organization of Silicon Valley Community Foundation (SVCF), is a public-private partnership ending homelessness in Silicon Valley. Through our collective impact model, we convene and collaborate with stakeholders across our community to address the root causes of homelessness and drive true systemic change. We embrace a data-driven and human approach - advocating for policies, incubating new ideas and programs, and investing in strategies to connect more of our homeless neighbors to a stable home and prevent homelessness before it begins.

Our work is grounded in a commitment to advancing racial and socioeconomic justice - and working together, we can build a community where homelessness is rare, brief, and non-recurring. Learn more at destinationhomesv.org.
