Vacaville, CA – Rep. Mike Thompson (CA-04) presented a $250,000 check to the City of Vacaville for the Harmony Village Affordable Housing Project to build ten affordable, single-family, semi-detached duet homes in the city.
“Proud to have secured $250,000 for the City of Vacaville to build affordable housing,” said Thompson. “Affordability and homeownership are on everyone’s mind right now, and this project will give hard-working, low-income families an opportunity to purchase a home they would not otherwise have been able to, providing them with stability and an opportunity to build their savings.”
“We are grateful for Congressman Thompson’s continued partnership and leadership in expanding housing opportunities in our community,” said Savita Chaudhary, Vacaville’s City Manager. “This $250,000 investment in Harmony Village helps turn the dream of homeownership into a real opportunity for local families. Through our partnership with Habitat for Humanity, we are creating permanently affordable homes that strengthen neighborhoods, promote stability, and expand access to safe, high-quality housing for those who need it most. This is the power of meaningful collaboration—thank you for championing housing affordability and investing in our community’s future.”
“We are extremely grateful to Congressman Thompson and the City of Vacaville for this funding for Harmony Village!” said Andrew Killeen, CEO of Solano-Napa Habitat for Humanity. “It represents a critical component of the capital stack that is helping to turn all of our plans for this 10-home development into a reality – a reality that will provide 10 local, low-income families with an opportunity to buy the houses that they will help us build in partnership.”
The funding will go to the City of Vacaville to build ten single-family semi-detached homes. This neighborhood, once constructed, will be easily accessible through public transportation, conveniently located near retail stores, and surrounded by reliable infrastructure and city resources.
The funding for this project is part of the $14,351,487 secured this year by Thompson for community projects in our district.
Each year, Members of Congress may direct federal funding to a limited number of community projects through the appropriations process. Under this program, each House member may submit a limited number of requests on behalf of their district for competitive review by the House Appropriations Committee. Projects selected for funding must meet strict transparency and accountability requirements before being included in federal appropriations legislation.
