1. Sonoma Valley Farmworker Housing Needs and Opportunities Assessment
Estimated cost: $50,000–$70,000

  • Led by a 15-person project team, including 9 farmworker women

  • Includes surveys, key informant interviews, district-specific focus groups, and a final report with an actionable implementation plan

  • Identifies at least three potential housing parcels in Sonoma Valley

2. Farmworker Housing & Resource Center Planning
Cost will be determined by FHNOA findings

  • Expenses tied to predevelopment, permitting, site control, and early-stage design

  • Funding through Joe Serna grants, CalHome, USDA 514/516, CRA-aligned bank investments, and philanthropy

3. Partner with the Sonoma Valley Community Development Corporation to Create and Fund Distributed (non-center) Farmworker Housing
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.

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