The Neighborhood Village
The Neighborhood Village
The Neighborhood Village is a community of 50 permanent supportive housing units with onsite wraparound services. We believe that stable, safe, and dignified living conditions are the first step to breaking cycles of poverty and homelessness. True healing happens in community, and The Neighborhood Village is dedicated to enhancing the well-being and community integration of individuals transitioning from homelessness.
A beacon of hope, The Neighborhood Village goes beyond providing permanent housing. It is the first of its kind in California. TNV (The Neighborhood Village) is a place of permanence, healing, and hope–a true community for our neighbors who have been pushed to the margins of our society. It is a place of belonging where our organization is offering a holistic approach investing in each person.
TNV co-locates life-saving and life-changing services, including healthcare, mental health support, job training, and addiction services. Each neighbor has the opportunity to participate in community-building activities such as gardening, culinary, or art programs. Every neighbor is case-managed by our Neighbor Care team. Our model is relational, centering on the needs and priorities of each neighbor.
“I finally feel safe.
I have a second chance at life.” - Patrick
