HIF’s mission is to prevent homelessness, build relationships, and strengthen communities in Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties.

Through extensive relationships with nonprofits and community based organizations, HIF is able to evaluate and qualify recipients for emergency housing grants, identify priority renovation needs for shelters, and assist teachers, nonprofit, and other public sector workers secure affordable housing.

HIF’s Board of Directors provides significant support toward operational expenses so that most fundraising contributions can be used to directly support the community. HIF leverages the resources, relationships, and expertise of the Multifamily Housing Industry, including owners, vendors, general contractors, and suppliers, which help extend the impact of donor contributions.
