About InnVision

  InnVision is a nonprofit 501 (c) 3  service agency dedicated to empowering Silicon Valley homeless and at-risk families and individuals in finding… the way home! We accomplish this by offering various levels of housing and day programs in a safe and supportive environment that promotes self-worth and independent living.

Founded in 1973, InnVision got its start when members of nine downtown San Jose churches began noticing with alarm that more and more people were sleeping in downtown doorways. Determined to help, they formed the San Jose Urban Ministry - now InnVision - and started handing out blankets, dishing up hot food and making housing referrals.

Today, InnVision programs reach throughout Santa Clara and San Mateo counties and serve more than 19,000 men, women, children and mentally ill adults each year at 20 different sites. InnVision addresses the multiple needs of people in transition, including emergency shelters, transitional/supportive housing, food, clothing, showers, laundry, healthcare, job training, classes, children’s programs and access to telephones and computers. This non-profit corporation has an annual budget of $10.5 million; over 100 dedicated staff members; more than 2,000 volunteers; and an impressive track record.

The InnVision approach to breaking the cycle of homelessness is innovative and comprehensive. Our proven track record and demonstrated success in leveraging community resources maximizes every dollar received.
