This facility has 28,000 sq. ft., 230 seats, and special features such as a Program Room, Group Study Room, Community Information Center, art gallery wall, and the biggest Curious George in the area.

Community Services Agency is one of the oldest nonprofit social service agencies in Santa Clara County. Serving the frail elderly, the disadvantaged and the homeless, CSA has been a community resource for nearly 50 years.

Programs for seniors include Senior Case Management and Senior Outreach which assist the at-risk elderly with health, financial and personal needs. Senior Nutrition provides a low-cost nutritious noon meal and social activities five days a week. Low income individuals and families in crisis may obtain food, limited emergency financial assistance and referrals from CSA's Emergency Assistance Program.  Services for children include shoes, back-to-school supplies and holiday toys and gifts.  Homeless adults are served through Alpha Omega Homeless Services.

CSA's mission is to promote independence and self-sufficiency through direct service, advocacy and referral. Clients' dignity and self-esteem are recognized as the most essential ingredients in sustaining a productive life-style.
