Hello All, 

We are very excited to share that we have land purchased for Housing First Village!! 

The site is located on Wheat Drive to the south of the temporary site of HRDC’s Warming Center. We anticipate about 20 homes can be accommodated initially with the possibility of expansion to the west. We look forward to volunteer opportunities by next summer. 

As a community, we know now more than ever that everyone deserves a safe home. We look forward to your ongoing support as Housing First Village becomes a reality. 

Thanks for reading!

Best, 

Lila Fleishman 
Housing and Healthcare Coordinator, HRDC IX
