COLLABORATE WITH US

Collaborate with us

Nobody does
this alone.
Including us.

Landlords, employers, foundations, companies, agencies, schools, and neighbors. Every collaborator holds up a different part of the same home.

Ways to collaborate

Find your part.

Property owners

Lease a unit to us.

Razing the Bar signs the lease, pays the rent, and stays your point of contact. A young person gets a home, and you get a steady tenant relationship.

Offer a unit →
Employers

Open a first job.

Host paid work experience or hire a young person ready to work. We stay in the picture, so the first job leads to the next one.

Host or hire →
Foundations

Fund the model.

Your grant is the match that unlocks federal dollars, and it pays for what federal rules exclude: what lasts after exit.

Start a conversation →
Companies

Sponsor and match.

Sponsor a community dinner or a season of cooking workshops, match employee gifts, or bring a team to volunteer.

Sponsor the work →
Public agencies

Align the system.

Coordinate referrals, services, and data across Santa Clara County so young people move through one door, not many.

Connect with us →
Schools and training programs

Open a pathway.

Enrollment, financial aid, and credentials that lead to a career, with a mentor alongside.

Build a pathway →
Congregations and community groups

How it works

Three steps.

1

Reach out.

Tell us who you are and what you want to build. One email starts it.

2

Meet.

We meet, learn what you bring, and show you where it fits in the model.

3

Build it together.

We agree on the work in writing, and report back on what it made possible.
