Manteca mayor says homeless navigation center construction has begun, city secured $641,000 in grants
Summary
Mayor Singh told attendees the city has secured more than $641,000 in grant funding for housing and shelter operations and has begun rehabbing a building for a long-term homeless navigation center; city partners will deliver 12–15 tiny homes for veterans.
Mayor Singh told the State of the City audience that Manteca has secured more than $641,000 in grant funding aimed at housing, shelter operations and outreach as part of an ongoing response to homelessness.
"We continue advancing our homeless navigation center efforts by moving beyond the temporary parking lot facility and services to a more permanent solution for our community," Singh said, announcing that the building to be used as a long-term navigation center has been cleared and that construction rehabilitation has started.
Singh also highlighted behavioral-health partnerships with San Joaquin Behavioral Health and said the city is delivering "12 to 15 tiny homes at the Wade Church for homeless veterans and eligible residents," describing the work as "compassion with accountability." He emphasized that these steps are early-stage but represent tangible progress toward a long-term approach to homelessness in Manteca.
The address reported project status and funding but did not include a vote, contract award, or timetable for full program operation beyond the note that construction had begun.
