A transformative project in West Sacramento is getting a $2 million boost from federal funds.
Rep. Doris Matsui (CA-07) announced the funds Wednesday morning. They’ll go toward the Mosaic Village Project, which will change two empty acres near the city center into a campus with permanent supportive housing, workforce development programs, emergency food and resource distribution and case management.
“Mosaic Village reflects what is possible when a community comes together with purpose and refuses to leave anyone behind,” said Congresswoman Matsui. “This project is about more than housing and services. It is about connecting people with the community they need to move forward with dignity, stability, and real opportunity. I am grateful to the West Sacramento leaders and community partners whose vision and commitment have helped bring this project to life.”
The centerpiece of Mosaic Village will be a new Recovery Cafe.
“West Sacramento’s Recovery Cafe is a vital home for those seeking healing, connection, and hope in our community,” said Mayor Guerrero. “We are deeply grateful for Congresswoman Matsui’s leadership for the federal funding to expand this life-changing work. Because of her leadership and commitment, hope is growing stronger in our community.”
Recovery Cafe West Sacramento has been operated by Mosaic West Sac since 2022, and the federal funds will go toward the new Recovery Cafe, offering additional space, a commercial-grade kitchen, additional meeting rooms, offices and outdoor seating.
“For the trauma-impacted, there are few things more powerful than a truly inclusive, restorative community,” said Don Bosley, Executive Director of Mosaic West Sac. “We’ve been awed to watch that community unfold at the Recovery Cafe in West Sacramento the last four years. And we’ve been awed to watch Congresswoman Matsui, Mayor Guerrero, Sutter Health and so many other advocates rally to innovative mental-health and recovery models like this one. This is how we replace negative generational cycles with enduring, hopeful ones. Our staff, volunteers and cafe members couldn’t be more grateful.”
