The Georgia Travis MultiService Drop-In Center is the primary gateway to emergency assistance for homeless women and children in Silicon Valley. The basic program provides a safe environment where homeless or at-risk women and children can receive food, clothing, toiletries, medical care, transportation assistance, showers, laundry access, phone/mail service, and more. For women and mothers additional support services are available, such as education, case management, emergency assistance, and a child development program to address the needs of children in transition while women take advantage of a variety of educational and stabilization activities.
The free support services at GTC have four primary components:- Integrated case management to meet the needs of clients is critical to their success of transitioning into a lifestyle of self-sufficiency.
- Adult education is offered featuring classes in ESL, money management, job development, computer skills, and self-help classes in domestic violence, child abuse prevention, stress management, & critical life skills.
- A range of Health Services are offered. Gardner Family Services and Kaiser Permanente provide free on-site direct medical care. Health education workshops are offered to educate women in maintaining their health and that of their families.
- The Child Development Center (Family Place) provides nurturing pre-school activities such as pre-math & English, reading time, indoor/outdoor play, & finger painting. These activities help children develop intellectually and offer a "happy place" to escape the trials of homelessness. School-age children are also served through an after-school tutoring program and summer camp.

The One-Stop Center, located on the GTC site, provides hundreds of homeless men, women, and children with easy access to much needed medical services plus employment, benefit, and housing search & support services by four collaborative agencies: Santa Clara County Social Services Agency - offers all levels of public assistance; Goodwill Industries - offers veterans and employment services; Work2Future provides employment services; and the city Housing Services Partnership provides a housing locator program and rental & deposit assistance. Additionally, throughout the year, more than 100 other partner community agencies offer onsite workshops and information sessions on immigration, legal services, health services/insurance, domestic violence education, and more. By working closely with our government partners “under one roof” we can ensure that many more people will access and maintain a permanent residence in South Bay communities.
The One-Stop Center makes an enormous difference for clients, helping them to see self-sufficiency and independence as accessible and attainable. With one visit, after meeting with an intake counselor for a basic needs assessment, people can begin the process of securing financial benefits, receiving housing referrals, applying for rental and/or transportation assistance, and connecting to a case manager who continues to offer direction and support while arranging for training necessary to acquire and maintain employment which is necessary for permanent housing. All other services available on-site through GTC's day services ensure that the majority of needs and barriers to success are addressed.
