Funding crisis looms for nonprofits serving Santa Clara County’s most vulnerable

SANTA CLARA COUNTY NONPROFITS serving the region’s vulnerable residents are facing funding cuts coming down from the Trump administration.

Among proposed cuts is the planned elimination of the $3.3 billion Community Development Block Grant program tied to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. San Jose distributes millions of dollars annually through the program to nonprofits implementing services that benefit low- and moderate-income residents with community development needs. Nonprofits facing potential negative impacts include the Law Foundation of Silicon Valley, The Health Trust and SOMOS Mayfair.
