About Life Services Alternatives

Life Services Alternatives provides exceptional community living and programs for adults with developmental disabilities.

In our county, there is a housing shortage for adults with development disabilities. In the past 4 years, over 40 programs have closed due staffing issues, low government rates and the high cost of living in the Silicon Valley. A high percentage of adults with developmental disabilities live at home with their parents. Unfortunately, parents age, have health issues, or they can no longer care for their adult child. Parents worry about who will take care of their adult child when they no longer can.

Life Services Alternatives helps to alleviate those worries. We opened our first three homes in 2004 in Santa Clara. It was a goal of Life Services Alternatives to establish homes where residents could grow and thrive in a non-institutional setting. We currently have 15 licensed homes throughout Santa Clara County (San Jose, Campbell, Santa Clara and Morgan Hill) that are home to men and women who are developmentally disabled. Our residents’ range in age from 20 to 80 years old with a wide range of disabilities. 16th home is in the process of renovation and retrofitting to meet the community home standards. Five of our fifteen homes are for individuals who have special health care needs and intensive support needs. Our remaining nine homes, are home to residents who need 24-hour a day, non-medical care and supervision. It is Life Services Alternatives goal to continue to open new homes in our county where residents can live their best possible lives. Your support is needed to reach our

goal. Your donation is greatly appreciated and will help change the lives of a developmentally disabled adult.

Experience the thrill of 10th Annual SJVRC ONE MILE FOR ONE CHILD Charity Running Event. Join us along with other fellow runners around the world of all ages and skill levels to promote running and embrace a healthy lifestyle, while raising funds to support the less fortunate children in Vietnam and Thailand. We are too far to touch hands but not too far to touch hearts.

Please join us in person, or virtual, on Sunday, September 20th, 2026 at Almaden Lake Park (Arroyo Picnic Area). The address of the park is 5989 Winfield Blvd, San Jose, CA 95123.

Check in time: 7 - 8AM

The race will start at 8:30AM.

RUN UNDER THE REDWOODS FOR A 5K, 10K OR HALF MARATHON!

Come join us in the beautiful redwood groves of the Santa Cruz Mountains! Tucked away just outside Silicon Valley, Sanborn County Park features miles of single-track trails dappled with filtered light through lush canopy.

Half Marathon and 10K runners will ascend to peaks offering spectacular views and all distances will include breathtaking single track trails.

While experienced runners will enjoy the challenge and exploration of new territory, those new to the trails will also discover a whole new world of running where it is perfectly normal (and highly recommended!) to walk the hills and save your energy for the flat and downhill sections.

Race Start Times

The half marathon will start at 8:30 am, the 10K at 8:45 am and the 5K at 9:00 am. There will also be a "Hiker Division" start (for half marathon participants planning to take more than 3.5 hours) at 7:30 am.

Walkers/hikers and runners of all levels are welcome!
