Horizon Shine - What's the Future Look Like?

Yes, Horizon Shine Village is closing on March 3, 2024. St Vincent de Paul Sonoma County will move forward with long-standing plans to build an affordable housing project on the site. This was always the plan, but that doesn't mean that the closure isn't challenging for some. Fortunately Sonoma Applied Village Services (SAVS), the nonprofit that has been operating the Village, has been proactive about providing assistance and options for relocation to the Horizon Shine population. SAVS's efforts are being supported and supplemented by the County's Department of Health Services IMDT HEART team. All are doing their best to make the move out of Horizon Shine as smooth as possible.
