Grand Opening Oma Village Novato 
Community leaders and supporters celebrated Oma Village as a model for affordable housing on Oct. 19, when the Grand Opening Party attracted more than 300 people to applaud this new program for 14 homeless families. "Every one of these 14 units is going to be transformative for a family as they turn their lives around," Congressman Jared Huffman told guests at the event. "We've got a critical need for more." Thank you to our Builder Captains Richmond American Homes and The New Home Company for raising over $1,000,000 in in-kind donations for this critically important housing. Thank you so much to our donors and sponsors (
attached).
