Grant given to St. Joseph’s Family Center
Gilroy – The St. Joseph’s Family Center received an Unlimited Potential Grant of $60,000 from the Microsoft Corporation in early June of 2003.
The grant was awarded as a result of a fund directed by Community Solutions. Microsoft had given Community Solutions the funds, with directions to in turn produce those funds to programs and centers which work to improve people’s lives through the use of technology. St. Joseph’s offers these type of services at the Ochoa Migrant Center.
St. Joseph’s Ochoa Migrant Center gives support services to as many as 100 migrant families during the May through October season.
Six other agencies also received grants from the Community Foundation of Silicon Valley.
Home to as many as 100 migrant families during the May to November growing season, the Ochoa Migrant Center in Gilroy is a partnership between St. Joseph’s Family Center and the Housing Authority of the County of Santa Clara. During the off-season, the program provides three months of transitional housing for homeless families.
