In 2018, Cisco made a historic pledge to address homelessness in Santa Clara County.  They committed $50 million in grant funding over five years – the largest corporate donation of its kind at the time - and Covenant House California is a beneficiary. "Time and time again, Cisco has stepped up for Covenant House to help provide access to safe and long-term housing opportunities for youth facing homelessness. There is a tremendous need and opportunity to help young people out of homelessness and into employment and supported by a community that really cares about them, and I know we can count on Cisco to be with us every step of the way." - Bill Bedrossian, President and CEO Covenant House International Read more about Cisco's housing journey here: https://lnkd.in/ey6cWuP9
