(SANTA BARBARA, Calif.) – The County of Santa Barbara proudly celebrates the one-year anniversary of two transformative interim housing projects, La Posada and Hope Village. Built on County-owned property and supported with significant County investment, these innovative villages have provided critical services to more than 350 people who were previously unsheltered, offering them a path to stability, health, and permanent housing.
Hope Village and La Posada, both tiny-home villages developed by DignityMoves, offer individuals experiencing homelessness a private unit in a supportive community environment, along with wraparound services that help facilitate a pathway to permanent housing. Residents receive individualized case management as well as access to mental and physical health care services.
“Through the strategic use of County resources, dedicated partnerships with DignityMoves and Good Samaritan, and a compassionate focus on service delivery, La Posada and Hope Village have become models of success in addressing homelessness,” said Chair of the Board of Supervisors, Laura Capps. “We are proud to celebrate this first year and look forward to building on this progress.”…
