Under contract with Napa County Housing Authority, California Human Development manages three Farmworker Housing Centers in Napa County. These dormitory-style Centers provide housing for unaccompanied farmworkers. Each center has 30 bedrooms, two residents per room, and has centrally grouped lavatories. Each Center has a large dining/activity room. Breakfast and lunch are served Monday through Saturday, as well as a bagged lunch-to-go. Continental breakfast (only) is served Sunday morning. All facilities have coin-operated Laundromats, recreational activities and pay telephones. Staff members live on site.
Each facility closes temporarily during the winter months, but the closings are staggered to ensure that at least one Center is open during these months. For scheduled open dates or space availability call the individual Centers or River Ranch.
