Gamble Grove

951 & 963 Pope Street · St. Helena

Completed in early 2026, Gamble Grove brings 10 affordable rental homes to St. Helena. A studio, one- and two-bedroom homes, and a preserved cottage provide more options for neighbors to live close to downtown, schools, parks, and everyday services.

NVCH and Our Town St. Helena partnered on the five homes at 963 Pope Street. Our Town St. Helena owns the five neighboring homes at 951 Pope Street. Together, these homes show what local partnerships can make possible.

The community celebrated its grand opening on March 12, 2026—a milestone in expanding affordable housing in the upper Napa Valley.

Napa Methodist workforce housing

629 Randolph Street · Downtown Napa

NVCH is partnering with Burbank Housing and Napa First United Methodist Church to create a mixed-use workforce housing community on the church property. The plan brings housing close to jobs, transit, schools, parks, and essential services.

The 46-home proposal includes one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, resident community space, and space for church activities while retaining the historic sanctuary. It is an opportunity to put a well-located site to work for Napa’s housing needs.

Project timing: The completion date is still to be determined. Follow the project updates for the latest plans and schedule.

From opportunity to lasting community

Our work includes new construction, rehabilitation, and preservation. We draw on experience with family, senior, farmworker, supportive, and transitional housing to create homes that respond to the needs of Napa County.

Build local partnerships

We work with neighbors, community organizations, public agencies, and development partners to shape projects around local needs.

Bring homes to life

We help bring together the planning, design, and complex financing needed to turn a promising site into quality affordable housing.

Plan for the long term

We approach development with lasting affordability, responsible stewardship, and residents’ well-being in mind.
