Move-in day at Harmony Six local families will spend the rest of the holidays in their own places
Six local families will be spending the rest of the holidays in their own places this year. Wednesday was move-in day at Harmony Village in south Sutter County.
Over the coming months, the project will provide around 100 people – the area’s most vulnerable, including the elderly, disabled and veterans – with muchneeded affordable housing.
“It’s wonderful to see people getting stability right at Christmas time,” said
John Nicoletti, deputy director of Habitat for Humanity Yuba-sutter.
Sutter County purchased the Baymont Motel along Highway 99 in October in order to establish 62 units of low-income permanent housing. The facility, which
portion of the project’s water would be dedicated to environmental uses, helping to improve conditions for Delta smelt, preserving the cold-water pool in Lake Shasta to support salmon development, spawning and rearing, and
providing a reliable water supply to improve habitat for migratory birds and other native species.
“We thank our federal partners for their continued collaboration and commitment to this important project,” Durst said in a press release. “And we look forward to the day when the environment and
communities throughout California see direct benefits from Sites Reservoir. A top priority for us in early 2021 will be to work with our federal partners and participants on refining the project to ensure it is affordable, permittable, and buildable.”
