Policies in Progress

In one of the nation's most expensive housing markets, Supervisor Cindy Chavez is the primary architect of the groundbreaking $950-million Measure A – a housing bond passed by voters in November 2016 to end homelessness in Santa Clara County.

Improving the Lives of Foster Care Youth

Because a disproportionate number of foster kids grow up to lives of poverty, public assistance, homelessness and, in many cases, prison, Supervisor Cindy Chavez has unveiled a plan to vastly improve the county's foster care system.

Public Safety and Justice

Supervisor Cindy Chavez is improving Santa Clara County's public safety and justice system on everything from bail reform for non-violent, low-risk defendants to reconfiguring the design of our jails and programs for inmates so they don't end up back in jail after they are released.

Women's Agenda

The Women's Agenda developed by Supervisor Chavez has put Santa Clara County on the map. In 2018, county, community and nonprofit leaders made Santa Clara the first county in the state to expedite the processing of rape kits to no longer than 30 days.
