Santa Clara County’s $800 million budget shortfall, fueled by federal cuts and stagnant property taxes, is forcing nonprofits to slash services—prioritizing crisis response over prevention and leaving survivors and at-risk youth with fewer safety nets. Measure A’s $300 million annual sales tax boost helps hospitals but doesn’t close the gap, while domestic violence shelters face 10% funding cuts that threaten housing and food aid. Organizations are pivoting toward private donors, fearing long-term consequences like more youth entering the justice system. Despite the strain, these groups remain committed to serving vulnerable communities, driven by a mission to fight poverty and build resilience—even as demand for their services surges.
