Stories from the District
Caritas Center
Caritas Center is a new 3-story 46,500 sq. ft. facility which will provide supportive services for the homeless and near homeless, a medical respite for homeless persons and a 2,000 sq. ft. Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) as part of the Caritas Village Project in downtown Santa Rosa, CA. Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Santa Rosa (CCDSR), the project sponsor, is the principal source of services to the poor, homeless and immigrants in Sonoma County, as well as a key provider of social services in counties north of Sonoma to the Oregon border. CCDSR now serves more than 76,000 people each year. Caritas Center will centralize and expand the services and programs currently on the existing CCDSR site into a single comprehensive homeless support services facility.
Ensuring Quality Health Care for Foster Youth
VOICES provides healthy, welcoming and lively community centers where transitioning foster youth have access to comprehensive housing, education, and employment services. Thanks in part to a partnership with OLE Health, these individuals now have access to on-site health care.
Good Humus Produce
California FarmLink’s Regenerator succession-planning program helped Jeff and Annie Main and their family develop a structured plan for transferring Good Humus Produce to the next generation. The organic Capay farm has operated since 1976 and produces fruits, vegetables, flowers, preserves, and other products for local markets and its CSA.
Heritage Housing Partners (2026)
Proud to share that JPMorgan Chase recently closed an $11.75 million NMTC investment supporting Heritage Housing Partners in delivering 40 for-sale condominium homes for first-time, low- to moderate-income homebuyers. Projects like this are a great reminder of the power of NMTC to create homeownership opportunities and expand access in markets where affordability remains a challenge.
KM Mushrooms
FarmLink’s Resilerator helped KM Mushrooms owner Amanda Janney strengthen bookkeeping, tax, insurance, contract, and long-term planning practices. The Santa Rosa mushroom business subsequently hired a bookkeeper, adopted QuickBooks, developed a debt-repayment strategy, and began preparing for a future land purchase and expansion.
Lantana Homes project given new life after lying dormant for more than a decade
Known for its more than 400 wineries, Sonoma County often conjures images of the California dream. The area, along with neighboring Napa County, is informally referred to as wine country and often seen as a playground for the affluent. The reality on the ground is quite different.
