The article, San Joaquin County building project for homeless vets funded largely by grants, written for localnewsmatters.org discusses our Victory Gardens project in French Camp. We broke ground on the project that will house homeless veterans.
Here is an excerpt from the August 5, 2021 article written by by Victoria Franco, Bay City News Foundation.
Leaders from around San Joaquin County joined the county’s Housing Authority on Monday in French Camp to break ground at the location of a project to house homeless veterans.
The $27 million project, Victory Gardens, will be located at 295 W. Mathews Road and will have construction completed by approximately winter 2022, according to the county’s Housing Authority.
The property will consist of 49 affordable housing units, a community garden, a common area used for socializing, a community kitchen and a computer room with high-speed internet for veterans to use at their convenience.
For the first time, a San Joaquin County project received state funds from the state’s Veteran Housing and Homelessness Prevention Program to aid in the financial process of completing Victory Gardens.
