Vista Ridge Permanent Supportive Housing Project
Vista Ridge is a proposed Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) community located at 3331 N Texas Street in Fairfield, CA, the current site of the Sure Stay Hotel, next door to Texas Roadhouse. The project proposes converting 100 guest rooms into 50 permanent one-bedroom homes designed to support individuals transitioning out of homelessness. There will be 50 primary occupants and they can have up to 2 family members or a roommate. They may also have guests for up to 7 days at a time. Permanent Housing is not temporary, the occupants receive a lease for life. They do not have to transition out to other housing if they do not wish to or are unable due to their mental illness or addiction. This is a Homekey project funded by the state of California and that falls under SB1380 which allows the residents to refuse services to treat their afflictions and mandates that they may continue to use illegal drugs and alcohol as that is part of their lifestyle. The hope is that once in permanent housing they will choose to follow a sober path.
Why we are opposed to this project :
The location is poorly chosen and planned, next to thriving retail businesses and children’s dentistry offices
The target population consists of drug addicts and severely mentally ill who will be problematic to the neighborhood
Level 1 and level 2 sex offenders could be in this population of addicts and SMI.
Vista Ridge is a HOMEKEY project and is NOT RECOVERY BASED! Treatment and recovery are OPTIONAL and NO CERTIFIED TREATMENT STAFF will be on site. The case workers on site have 4 years of volunteer service to these types of people. Residents must be taken downtown for qualified services that they need, and only if they wish to.
The presence of this population will cause safety issues in the area due to behavioral problems and will tax the emergency services to the detriment of the rest of the residents in the district
The funding from the US Government and the state of California is not confirmed at this point in time due to US budget, and CA programs that support the services for addicts and mentally ill are not assured for the 55 year agreement with Homekey - TRUMP CUT FUNDING TO PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING NOVEMBER 26. LIMITS TO 30% OF THE STATE BUDGET. CALIFORNIA SPENDS 90% OF THE MONEY FOR HOMELESS ON PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING!!!!
Each of the 50 residents may have a roommate, or up to 2 family members live there as well. And they may have guests stay up to 7 days at a time. That is a lot of people that will be in the North Texas area.

VALLEJO PROJECT HOMEKEY ONE YEAR BEHIND, $6 MILLION CITY BAILOUT AND COSTS $18K PER WEEK IN CARRYING COSTS!
The TLDR: the City received a Project Homekey grant in May of 2022, plus additional funding from a number of sources for a 47 unit new construction building for unhoused people on the “housing first” model. The Developer is Firm Foundation and the facility operator would be Shelter, Inc. Interesting, in spite of this being new construction (and not renovation of a 36 year old motel), the per unit costs were projected at approximately the same as the Vista Ridge Project.
Broke ground in Sept 2022. A city publication in Dec 2022 has the following comment in a short article about the project: "The City looks forward to the completion of the construction and successful opening in 2023”. Significant delays in construction followed. The Oct 29, 2025 Vallejo Sun article quotes the Assistant to the City Manager saying they hope to have the building occupied by the end of this year.
Every Dollar that Vista Ridge goes over Danco’s budget will be paid by Fairfield taxpayers!
Danco’s budget is posted on the city website under housing. They have $10.2 million for the build. $1.8 million in profit for Danco. $1.1 million in contingency funds. Due to the recent inspection ordered by Mayor Moy, we are expecting to find huge issues with sewer lines to the main, roof, toxic contamination and perhaps environmental contamination that will require remediation. We are also told by a contractor who specializes in building elevators that the structure may need reinforcing. We are also told that the building itself is 40 years old and was not built to last 100 years. The city is committing for 55 years!
Danco has allocated every cent of the grant money in the build plan AND plans on taking out a $3 million interest only loan. They plan to pay over $300k annually in interest for those 55 years according to what is posted online. This makes no sense. The interest is paid out of the $400k profit Danco shows on annual operating income. Many questions should be asked.
The city, as oversight and 50% partner in the limited partnership, should engage a forensic accountant to vet Danco’s budget. Spend the few thousand now and save us potentially millions out of the general fund.
If there are hidden construction and site contamination issues not called out in the appraisal, Danco will have to fix them and if they cannot come up with the cash, then the city must choose to pay for the overages or return the $21.5 million grant to the state. Let us NOT become another Vallejo! Think how much $5 million or more will take out of our general fund and how that will affect police, fire, streets, parks and rec. We heard everything they would cut at the budget meeting in May. It is not acceptable to sacrifice the quality of life in Fairfield for Vista Ridge!

Then she continues that she believes the vast majority of 120,000 residents want Vista Ridge. You cannot make this up!
Please watch this community meeting on YouTube. Held at City Hall Oct 22, 2025. You will see what citizens think about the project.

Pacific Research Institute Report on Homekey in California since 2020
https://www.pacificresearch.org/flawed-project-homekey-now-immersed-in-scandal/
Q : What happens now that 4 council ignored the people and voted this in?
A : Citizens Against Vista Ridge has launched a referendum and is now actively getting signatures on a petition. If we do that, then the council pass vote will be nullified. Council will decide at the next meeting (January or February 2026) whether to vote again, drop the matter, or put out to a city wide special election which will be expensive for the city and paid for out of general fund. That vote will be 50% plus 1 to win.
We are prepared to go door to door, sit at the mall and grocery stores and get those signatures. There are 14 thousand registered voters alone in district 4 and we believe 90% are against this.
Q : Why does the city keep saying that veterans will be at this project and maybe sex offenders?
A : The designated criteria for getting on the list to move into Vista Ridge is that the person must have a drug addiction or be severely mentally ill. If that person happens to have a past history of being in the military or convicted of sex offenses then they would be included in the population. The violent sex offenders who are registered are excluded, but you could have been registered and removed from the list. Mayor Moy explains it in the video below. Everyone wants to help veterans and it sounds like a good thing, but these would be SMI, severely mentally ill or drug addicted people, and as documented by Homekey Plus there are ZERO funds allocated to that group and ZERO services. Same with sex offenders. Residents care about blocking residents with a past history of sex offenses of any kind. The city manager has repeatedly answered that yes, there will be some veterans as they are looking for them specifically and there could be sex offenders.
DONATE to our cause via VENMO please!
