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 to help them receive care in their homes and remain independent.
Today, we are a team of 22, proudly serving over 32,300 consumers and supporting over 34,000 Independent Care Providers by facilitating provider enrollment into the IHSS program, managing provider health benefits, referring consumers to providers who can work for them, and offering training.
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.

As of July 1, 2024, Sick Leave hours available for qualified IHSS providers increased to 40 hours per fiscal year, between July 1st and June 30th.
