We’re thrilled to celebrate the grand opening of The Hub and Parkmoor Community Apartments, two incredible steps forward in supporting our community.

The Hub will serve as a vital resource center for foster youth, helping connect them with the tools, support, and opportunities they need to thrive. Meanwhile, Parkmoor Community Apartments brings much-needed affordable housing to those who need it most.

These projects would not have been possible without the unwavering support and collaboration of our incredible partners.

A heartfelt thank you to:
County of Santa Clara Housing Authority
Abode Services
City of San Jose
Enterprise Housing Credit Investment
And more!

Together, we’re building brighter futures.

We’re so proud to celebrate the incredible journey of one of our THP+ program participants!

After years of working with Bill Wilson Center and entering the THP+ program at 21, this former foster youth has achieved so much, graduating from San José State University, securing full-time employment, and most importantly, finding stable, permanent housing.

They completed the THP+ program in 2025, and we couldn’t be more inspired by their determination and growth.

Thank you to our community, partners, and supporters who make stories like this possible. Your support helps young adults build strong, independent futures.
