Celebrating 25 years supporting IHSS consumers in Santa Clara County
Public Authority Services by Sourcewise launched in 1999 with a team of 8 employees serving 5,600 Santa Clara County IHSS consumers by helping them receive care in their homes and remain independent.
Today, we are a team of 22, serving over 32,300 consumers and supporting over 34,000 Independent Care Providers!
Learn more how we started and how we have grown over the past 25 years in the article published in our spring 2024 Consumer Connection Newsletter.
On-Call Registry Program
The On-Call Registry (OCR) program may be able to temporarily assign a pre-screened IHSS Independent Provider to qualifying IHSS consumers for urgent needs when your usual provider is unexpectedly unable to come to work.
Heroes Needed!
Do you have experience providing caregiving services? The Public Authority Registry is recruiting Independent Care Providers who want their name referred to IHSS consumers for caregiving work.
Masks and Gloves Available!
Emergency Protective Gear masks and gloves are available for scheduled pick up at the Public Authority Services office.
