Santa Clara County Children's Shelter

 

 
 
       
The City of San José pledged the first $1 million to this project, which houses children who have been removed from or abandoned by their families. Several pods house different age groups, from infants to teenagers. A full-scale school and gymnasium are on-site, along with field and hockey rinks. Significant donations were raised from local residents and businesses.
