Locating available, affordable housing in Silicon Valley is never easy, but people with mental health disabilities, particularly those on social security or limited incomes, face even greater barriers (see “Housing for California’s Mental Health Clients” and “Loss of Board and Care Facilities is at Crisis Level“). On this page, you will find local listings of available licensed and unlicensed group homes, listings of emergency and mental health supportive housing agencies, resources for finding affordable single and family housing, homeless resources, and other housing related services and legal resources (resident/tenant rights).

Mental Health Long-Term Group Housing Types

  • Licensed Adult Residential Facilities (or Board & Care) homes are licensed by the state to provide long-term room and board (including meals and laundry services), 24- supervision of residents, assistance with medical and psychiatric needs and appointments, and dispensation of medications to residents. To determine if a facility is licensed (and to view complaints or violations), visit the state Community Care Licensing Facility Search site at http://ccld.ca.gov/PG3581.htm, or contact Community Care Licensing at (408) 324-2112.
  • Unlicensed Adult Residential Group homes provide long-term shared or unshared rooms and access to home areas. They include “room and board” homes, which may offer services such as meals, laundry, transportation for appointments, shopping or social events, etc., and “independent living” homes, which may not provide meals or other daily living services.  Note: these homes are NOT licensed and do not provide 24-hour supervision, medication management, medical or psychiatric assistance/transportation. Residents must be able to manage their medications and daily living activities on their own. If an unlicensed home is providing medications or medical care, you can make a complaint to Community Care Licensing at (408) 324-2112. Most unlicensed group homes are affordable to people on SSI or SSDI (although of poor quality).  In these homes, you have the same rights given to all tenants in California.  (See the “Housing Legal Aid” , and “Housing Rights Resources” sections at the bottom of this page for information on how to report or get help with unsafe or illegal housing conditions or practices.)

Mental Health Short-Term Residential Treatment Types

  • Social Rehabilitation Facilities (aka Crisis or Short-Term Residential) homes are licensed by the state to provide 24 hour a day non-medical care and supervision in a group setting to adults recovering from mental illnesses who temporarily need assistance, guidance or counseling.  These facilities are normally managed through mental health agencies as part of a continuum of outpatient psychiatric services. People become eligible for transitional living in the following ways:
    1. Clients on Medical – are referred by County Behavioral Health Services via Adult Residential Services (if transitioning from psychiatric inpatient hospitals, or by case managers at County outpatient clinics or County contract FSP (Full Service Partnership) agencies. * For assistance in obtaining County services, including help qualifying for Medi-Cal, contact the Mental Health Call Center at 800-704-0900
    2. Private Insurance Clients – Some insurance providers will cover a stay in a transitional living home.  * Contact your insurance provider customer service number. You can also contact La Selva Project in Palo Alto (650-617-1759), which is currently the only transitional living facility in the County that takes private insurance. You may also want to conduct an internet search for transitional homes out of the area.
    3. Private Pay Clients – transitional living homes that take private pay are can be very expensive, and most are located out of this County.  * The two transitional living facilities in the area are: 1) La Selva Project in Palo Alto (650-617-1759), and 2) Nueva Vista in Morgan Hill. (48-465-8280). *You may also want to conduct an internet search for transitional homes out of the area.
      To determine if a facility is licensed (and to view complaints or violations), visit the state Community Care Licensing Facility Search site at http://ccld.ca.gov/PG3581.htm, and select “Social Rehabilitation Facilities”, or contact Community Care Licensing at (408) 324-2148.

Sober Living Homes (also know as SLE’s) provide long-term shared rooms and access to home areas for persons in recovery from substance abuse (including those with dual diagnoses). These are properties where all residents have agreed to remain alcohol and drug-free. Some require that residents work, go to school or volunteer during the day. Some have limits to how long a resident can stay. For people with mental illness, these homes require good independent living skills, but can also be more pleasant than “board and care homes” and more affordable than private or low-income housing.

*To locate Sober Living Homes in your area try these internet search sites:

* Note: these homes are NOT licensed and do not provide 24-hour supervision, medication management, medical or psychiatric assistance/transportation. Residents must be able to manage their medications, and daily living activities on their own.

Affordable Housing Definition: The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) defines affordable housing as costing no more than 30 percent of a household’s income. Affordable housing properties are subject to rent and income rules: tenants must have incomes under a certain limit, and rents cannot be more than a certain percentage of that income. Each property has different rent and income rules, and often have long or closed wait lists. It takes patience and persistence to secure an affordable housing unit. This type of housing may or may not be appropriate for someone living with mental illness. Rents are usually greater than SSI or SSDI payments, so renters may need an additional source of income. They must also be able to live independently and follow tenant rules.  Occasionally, affordable housing units are reserved for special needs households, such as elderly or disabled tenants, and can be more accommodating to persons with a serious mental illness.  (*Note: Silicon Valley Living Center assists people with disabilities (including mental illness) search for affordable housing.

Affordable Housing Types

HUD Section 8 – Under “Section 8”, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) authorizes payment of rental housing assistance to low-income households and/or disabled individuals in the United States. In Santa Clara County the Housing Authority of Santa Clara County (HASCC) administers HUD programs. The main form of HUD housing assistance is via Housing Choice (or Section 8) vouchers, which gives vouchers to eligible recipients to cover rent or mortgage payments.* Note: Currently Section 8 housing voucher wait list is closed in Santa Clara County!

Subsidized housing – Multi-family apartments or single-family homes that are built or leased through public-private programs, and funded by state, county and city programs.

Supportive Housing – Some vulnerable citizens, such as those with disabilities are eligible for special housing combined with supplemental services such as case management or mental health outpatient treatment.  The California Mental Health Services Act of 2004 (MHSA), for instance, provides funding for supportive housing for persons with disabling mental illnesses.  Note that only people receiving County-based mental health services (via Medi-Cal) are eligible for direct MHSA funded services.  * To obtain County mental health services, contact the Mental Health Call Center at 800-704-0900

Private Rental Housing – Single-resident occupancy units, boarding houses and other living arrangements can offer rents that are affordable to low-income residents.  (Unfortunately, private rental housing that is both low cost and livable is scarce in the current local housing market). Try these Rental Housing Search websites.

Disability Group Housing – (AKA Board & Care Homes) Extremely low-income housing may also be occupied by people whose only income comes from monthly supplemental security income (SSI/SSDI), Social Security or disability checks.  * See top of this page for lists and information on group housing (licensed or unlicensed) for people with mental health disabilities.

Transitional Housing – These programs offer temporary housing for people who want to live on their own, but who do not have the financial resources or ability to do so. They usually provide supportive services to prepare them for independent living. Some programs assist people transitioning from an emergency shelter. Transitional housing usually offers more privacy than homeless shelters; may be no cost or low-cost, and may cater to people with mental illness. * Information on transitional housing can be obtained in most regions by calling 2-1-1.  Transitional Housing Options for people with mental illness include:

  1. Mental Health Transitional Living homes – are normally managed through mental health agencies as part of a continuum of outpatient psychiatric services. People become eligible for transitional living in the following ways:
    1. Clients on Medical – are referred by County Behavioral Health Services via Adult Residential Services (if transitioning from psychiatric inpatient hospitals, or by case managers at County outpatient clinics or County contract FSP (Full Service Partnership) agencies. * For assistance in obtaining County services, including help qualifying for Medi-Cal, contact the Mental Health Call Center at 800-704-0900

Office of Supportive Housing (OSH)
Telephone: 408-793-0550 Main Address: 3180 Newberry Drive, Suite 150, San Jose, CA 95118
The Santa Clara County Office of Supportive Housing’s (OSH) mission is help end and prevent homelessness by increasing the supply of affordable and supportive housing that is available to extremely low income and special needs households (including those with mental illness).

OSH oversees the Continuum of Care (COC) program, a group of County and other local housing agencies dedicated to ensuring County-wide implementation of efforts to end and prevent homelessness in Santa Clara County.  CoC created and manages “Coordinated Assessment”: a community-wide intake process to match people experiencing homelessness to existing community resources that are best fit for their situation. The Santa Clara County has been using coordinated assessment for a few years for permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing programs. They are also in the process of expanding coordinated assessment to shelter and transitional housing programs as well. In the County’s coordinated assessment system, all homeless people complete a standard assessment tool (the Vulnerability Index-Service Prioritization Decision Assessment Tool or VI-SPDAT) that considers the household’s situation and identifies the best type of housing intervention. A “community queue” of eligible people is generated from the standard assessment, which is then used to fill spaces in the County’s permanent housing programs, including permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing. Currently, persons eligible for Coordinated Assessment services must meet the definition of “chronically homeless”: living on the streets or in a shelter for at least a year. *Note: Chronically homeless individuals with metal illness often score as “high need” on the  VI-SPDAT. 

Access points are locations where people who are homeless can complete the coordinated assessment intake (VI-SPDAT). These locations include homeless shelters and other community agencies that provide housing information and homeless services. The List of County Participating Agencies include:
