BACKGROUND
The Napa County Housing Authority (Authority) owns and oversees three farmworker housing centers (Centers) located in Calistoga (Calistoga Center), St. Helena (River Ranch Center), and Napa (Mondavi Center). Each Center offers dorm style housing to sixty (60) farmworkers, or 180 total, who support Napa County’s world renowned agriculture industry. To maintain daily functionality as well as long term sustainability, Authority staff regularly consult with property management, preventative maintenance contractors, and the Public Works Department to plan for capital improvement projects, facility repairs, and equipment needs. The coordinated planning and communication help ensure that all parties involved deliver high quality services for all residents, meet safety and compliance requirements, invest in infrastructure, and boost occupancy rates to deliver strong financial performance. Between fiscal year 2024 to present, the Authority, with support of local and state donations, has invested approximately $360,000 to repair or replace critical needs including heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, kitchen equipment, fire suppression, water treatment, and walkways.
The purpose of this monthly report is to provide a high level overview of current and anticipated capital improvement projects, facility repairs, and equipment needs identified by preventative maintenance contractors, property management, and/or staff. The enclosed list was sorted by health and safety impact needs and projects are ranked “High’, “Medium”, and “Low” priority. Funding sources are noted (where applicable) for each project. Information presented is preliminary and subject to change as projects are further evaluated, scoped, and estimates are refined. This report is intended for discussion purposes only, no action needed at this time.
