Further Assistance

While First Community Housing is dedicated to housing initiatives, please note we do not assist in locating housing. For inquiries related to waitlists or rental details, please contact the property you're interested in directly. Unfortunately, we do not offer rental assistance. We are not Social Services. If you are in need of government assistance, please go to: Santa Clara Social Service.
