Project Overview

The Reimagined Housing on Main Street project is a transitional housing initiative located at 22 S. Main Street, Lodi, CA. The project is designed to provide safe, stable housing for individuals who are homeless or at risk of homelessness[1].

Funding and Support

In 2024, the City of Lodi applied for Community Project Funds to cover rehabilitation costs for this project. The city was awarded $500,000 in late 2024, with the Lodi City Council formally accepting the award on April 15, 2025. Representative Josh Harder played a key role in securing this federal funding through Congressional Community Project Funds[1].
The original funding request was for $2,200,000, intended to purchase and renovate the property for transitional housing use[5].

Purpose and Impact

The project aims to convert the Main Street property into transitional housing, offering a pathway for homeless or at-risk individuals to move toward permanent housing. This aligns with Lodi’s strategic vision to enhance public well-being and engage diverse communities through partnerships and outreach[1].
The facility will provide not only shelter but also supportive services to help residents achieve long-term stability and self-sufficiency.

Community and Government Involvement

The project is a collaborative effort between the City of Lodi and federal partners, with public recognition of the funding at a special City Council meeting on April 15, 2025. The meeting included a ceremonial check presentation by Representative Harder to acknowledge the federal contribution[1].
The project is part of a broader strategy to address homelessness in Lodi and complements other local and regional investments in emergency and transitional housing[1].

Public Access and Transparency

All documentation and staff reports related to the project are available for public inspection at the Lodi City Clerk’s Office and on the city’s website. The city encourages public engagement and provides accommodations for accessibility and language interpretation at meetings[1].
