Santa Clara County is preparing for severe reductions in housing voucher programs, especially the Emergency Housing Vouchers (EHV), which are set to expire in 2026 instead of the expected 2030. This federal funding cutback affects nearly 950 households that rely on this assistance. In addition, the county anticipates a 10% reduction in other housing vouchers next fiscal year, potentially leading to the loss of 2,000 additional vouchers. Officials are working to maintain support for families and those facing homelessness or fleeing violence amidst this uncertainty.
Santa Clara County officials are anticipating significant cuts to housing voucher programs due to federal funding issues, which could affect thousands of low-income residents.
The Emergency Housing Voucher program, initially funded until 2030, now faces an early termination in 2026, leaving many vulnerable individuals without support.
