5. Partner with local CDC to Pursue Joe Serna and other funding to build distributed (non-center) farmworker housing and other resources facilities
Cost varies by scale and number of units

  • An entity like the SVCDC could take on pilot projects for ADUs, tiny homes, or modular housing across sites, securing public and private funding to scale distributed workforce housing.

  • Also, findings from a FHNOA could support and identify other opportunity parcels and funding streams to pursue such as Joe Serna
