PALO ALTO ONLINE: Santa Clara County to explore how to help pregnant, unhoused women access shelter

More information about the plight of women who are homeless and pregnant is soon headed to the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors.

The board unanimously recently requested a report for more information about the experiences of women who are pregnant and homeless within the county after Supervisor Susan Ellenberg pointed out that such women were not targeted to benefit from Project Homekey, a state initiative that provided hotel shelter to unhoused people who were considered to be most vulnerable to developing complications from COVID-19.
