County Of Santa Clara

The County of Santa Clara, a U.S. local government entity registered in SAM.gov since 2009, serves as the administrative authority for Santa Clara County in California, with its County Executive Office headquartered in San Jose. As a government entity, the County primarily receives federal grant awards focused on addressing social welfare, community development, and public health challenges, with a particular emphasis on addressing homelessness, healthcare access, and community resilience. The organization operates as a child entity within the governmental structure and has demonstrated consistent engagement with federal funding programs, particularly those administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).

Through its federal grant awards, the County of Santa Clara has consistently provided comprehensive services targeting homelessness, housing instability, and behavioral health. The majority of its grant awards come from HUD's Continuum of Care (CoC) Program, which funds rapid rehousing, permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, and critical supportive services such as case management, mental health treatment, job training, and rental assistance. Additionally, the County has received grants from HRSA to expand behavioral health services, specifically through the Valley Homeless Healthcare Program, which aims to increase access to integrated substance use disorder and mental health services for vulnerable homeless populations. The County also receives sub-awards from the Office of Emergency Services for various emergency management, pandemic response, and infrastructure projects, including COVID-19 vaccination distribution, medical staffing, personal protective equipment procurement, and facility management. These grants demonstrate the County's multifaceted approach to addressing community needs through targeted, federally-funded initiatives that promote self-sufficiency, health, and community resilience.
