SVdP Commons:
NOW OPEN!
About the Project
In December 2021, The Society of St. Vincent de Paul
District Council of Sonoma County received a building permit from City of Santa Rosa building officials. After months of fundraising (more than $15 million), delays, challenges, and building, The SVdP Commons project is completed. A formerly abandoned motel has been successfully converted into some 50 permanent supportive housing units for formerly homeless people transitioning from living on the streets, or from a local transitional shelter.
​
