Sunnyvale homeless resource fair connects residents for housing, work opportunities

Sirina Paras was temporarily evicted from her home last year, and a Sunnyvale nonprofit put her up in a motel room and helped her navigate the eviction.

Paras said she is grateful for the help of Sunnyvale Community Services (SCS). The 73-year-old Sunnyvale resident said she was initially evicted because a neighbor claimed she had rats in her apartment, and her landlord wants her to pay $25,000 in cleaning fees. She is now back in her home, and the nonprofit has helped her navigate through the charges and impending court dates.
