Dignity Village Modesto is a new interim supportive housing community developed through a public-private partnership between DignityMoves, Stanislaus County, and the City of Modesto. The site includes 42 dignified, private units for individuals experiencing homelessness who also face behavioral health challenges such as serious mental illness and substance use disorders.
Part of California’s Behavioral Health Bridge Housing (BHBH) Program, Dignity Village provides safe, stable housing paired with the services people need to get back on their feet. The California Department of Health Care Services awarded Stanislaus County a $3.4 million grant to fund the project.
Dignity Village Modesto includes 42 private rooms thoughtfully designed to provide residents with comfort, safety, and dignity. Located on land owned by the City of Modesto, the community is strategically positioned near existing homeless services to assist individuals experiencing homelessness, including those navigating the CARE Court process.
The campus includes:
The layout balances privacy with opportunities for connection, creating a welcoming environment where people can focus on recovery and the next steps out of homelessness.
Dignity Village Modesto provides more than just interim housing—it offers a coordinated system of care to support individuals facing serious mental illness and substance use disorders.
Services are provided by Stanislaus County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services and include:
By integrating behavioral health services with safe, stable housing, Dignity Village Modesto offers residents a foundation for lasting change and long-term stability.
From day one, local leaders, businesses, volunteers, and neighbors came together to make this project possible.
Through the Adopt-a-Unit program, individuals, faith groups, and local organizations helped furnish and personalize the rooms—adding the thoughtful touches that make a space feel like home. Volunteers contributed their time and energy, assembling furniture, preparing welcome kits, and supporting move-in efforts.
This collaboration reflects the spirit of Modesto: people coming together to ensure that everyone has a safe, dignified place to stay.
