MATSUI ANNOUNCES $2 MILLION IN FEDERAL FUNDING FOR TRANSFORMATIVE MOSAIC VILLAGE PROJECT
SACRAMENTO, CA — $2 million in federal funding is heading to Mosaic West Sac for their transformative Mosaic Village project thanks to Community Project Funding secured by Congresswoman Doris Matsui (CA-07). She announced the funding this morning at a press conference alongside Mosaic West Sac Executive Director Don Bosley, Mayor Martha Guerrero, and Mayor Pro Tem Verna Sulpizio Hull.
“Mosaic Village reflects what is possible when a community comes together with purpose and refuses to leave anyone behind,” saidCongresswoman Matsui. “This project is about more than housing and services. It is about connecting people with the community they need to move forward with dignity, stability, and real opportunity. I am grateful to the West Sacramento leaders and community partners whose vision and commitment have helped bring this project to life.”
In remarks at the event, Matsui emphasized that no single challenge exists in isolation and that communities see stronger outcomes when they invest in housing, health care, substance recovery, and economic opportunity together. She also underscored the importance of local partnership in ensuring federal dollars are put to work in ways that reflect community needs.
“For the trauma-impacted, there are few things more powerful than a truly inclusive, restorative community,” said Don Bosley, Executive Director of Mosaic West Sac. “We've been awed to watch that community unfold at the Recovery Cafe in West Sacramento the last four years. And we've been awed to watch Congresswoman Matsui, Mayor Guerrero, Sutter Health and so many other advocates rally to innovative mental-health and recovery models like this one. This is how we replace negative generational cycles with enduring, hopeful ones. Our staff, volunteers and cafe members couldn't be more grateful.”
“West Sacramento’s Recovery Cafe is a vital home for those seeking healing, connection, and hope in our community,” said Mayor Guerrero. “We are deeply grateful for Congresswoman Matsui's leadership for the federal funding to expand this life-changing work. Because of her leadership and commitment, hope is growing stronger in our community.
“What makes Mosaic Village so powerful is that it doesn’t rely on a single approach,” said Mayor Pro Tem Sulpizio Hull. “It brings together the most effective elements of care, community, and support into one intentional model that is designed to meet people where they are and help them build a path forward with dignity.”
Mosaic Village will transform two vacant acres near West Sacramento’s city center into a campus with permanent supportive housing, workforce development programs, emergency food and resource distribution, and case management. The centerpiece of Mosaic Village will be a new Recovery Cafe.
Since 2022, Mosaic West Sac has operated the Recovery Cafe West Sac, part of a nationwide network of safe, inclusive spaces for those impacted by homelessness, substance-use disorders, domestic violence, and other forms of traumas. The federal funding secured by Congresswoman Matsui will go towards the new Recovery Cafe, with additional space, a commercial-grade kitchen, additional meeting rooms, offices, and outdoor seating areas to promote wellness.
This investment builds on Congresswoman Matsui’s longstanding record of delivering federal funding to the West Sacramento community. In 2023, she secured $3.18 million for the City’s Heritage Oaks Park Improvement Project. In 2024, she secured $15 million for the Bryte Park Master Plan Implementation Project.
