The Vision
Develop infill garden courts, a historic housing model in the Central Valley, on .4 to 1.0+ acre lots that provide permanent homes for a mix of very-low income, and low-income residents of Woodland CA. These permanent affordable home rents will cost no more than 30% of the household’s income. Quality of life amenities including: trees, gardens, recreation and play spaces will be part of the community. There will be a Common Building and the homes are designed with accessibility in mind. There will be on-site management. HUD Project Based Vouchers have been secured to finance the site operations for 20-40 years.
Social workers and life coaches will offer activities and services responsive to the needs of the community.
Community members, including members of the faith community, will come alongside residents helping them experience welcome and worth…and emotional and spiritual well-being.

Woodland Opportunity Village Partnership
with Friends of the Mission:
Woodland Opportunity Village develops and operates the properties
Incorporated in 2017 Woodland Opportunity Village will develop the projects. They will be the “face” to the community responsible for: fundraising, communications, development, occupancy, and on-site management of the property. A 20-hour per week on-site manager will collect the rents, facilitate regular community meetings, resolve community issues, and insure the property is maintained as an asset to the neighborhood.
Friends of the Mission owns and maintains the properties
Founded in 1997, Friends of the Mission is a Non-Profit Organization that provides affordable housing for individuals, families and youth who are in need, but especially the homeless population in Yolo County. Affordable housing may include: emergency, transitional, supportive and permanent housing projects and programs. Friends of the Mission will own the land and the buildings. They will provide regular maintenance, and landscaping of the properties, including the laundry facilities.
