After 33 years as the Homeless Services Center, this group changed its name to Housing Matters in September 2019. According to the Housing Matters website, “The new name reflects who we are today; we provide services to clients well beyond the walls of our campus.”

There have been about 1,800 to 2,300 unhoused people in Santa Cruz County in recent years, and at least 1,000 people each year have found housing through city, county and nonprofit programs, according to county records.
Santa Cruz city leaders on Wednesday said 121 unhoused people moved into permanent housing in the city since 2022, and hundreds more were served by homeless service programs. They also renewed calls for more city money to address homelessness because millions in one-time funds are expected to run out in July.
