HomeCA Press Release, Sept 12, 2023
“With these signatures in place, construction can begin for a remarkable nearly 10,000 square feet residence, complete with two accessory dwellings, in the heart of Rescue, California. This facility will serve as the New Tribal Youth Perinatal Residential Substance Use Disorder (SUD) center.”
“The second grant is equally promising, as it supports the construction of a 250-person capacity outpatient wellness and recovery center in Shingle Springs. This center will offer traditional healing methods alongside evidence-based therapeutic activities such as equine therapy, horticulture, music, and arts. The groundbreaking ceremony is just around the corner, and the goal is to have this facility up and running by the end of 2024.”
