Honoring the Japanese American Legacy in Florin

The Florin area was once home to a vibrant Japanese American farming community. Despite hardships, including WWII internment, families rebuilt and left a lasting legacy. Grow Florin honors this history through supportive housing initiatives, promoting sustainable communities by planting cherry blossom, magnolia, and citrus trees, and engaging in community storytelling and cultural recognition that reflects the importance of transitional housing.

A Path to Stability and Wellness

Transitional housing serves as a vital link between emergency shelter and permanent homes, especially for older adults and veterans facing behavioral health challenges. This supportive housing phase is essential for their recovery and ongoing support.

By providing stable homes alongside mental health care, we can reduce ER visits, hospitalizations, and incarceration, ultimately fostering sustainable communities and building long-term pathways to independence.
