Build for All

SCU is building homes for the Silicon Valley’s teachers.

Santa Clara is jumping into Silicon Valley’s protracted, complicated, and expensive housing problem with a proposal to build nearly 300 homes, space for a start-up incubator, and retail near the Stephen Schott Baseball Stadium.

The below-market housing would be available to faculty and staff from the area’s Jesuit education centers—SCU, Bellarmine College Prep, and Cristo Rey Jesuit High School.

The proposal requires approval from the cities of San Jose and Santa Clara.

On Monday, April 21, 2025, after news of Pope Francis’s death arrived at Santa Clara University, Dennis C. Smolarski, S.J. stood in the Mission Church and gave a homily for Mass. His words reflected on the miracle of Easter, hope, and the example Francis gave others to follow.
