The Village on Sage Street is expanding.

In 2018, the Community Foundation was approached by private developers Par Tolles and Allison Gorelick with a rare opportunity to acquire a former man camp in Wyoming to create modular dorm-style housing units at a fraction of their original price to turn into a dorm-style community.

Through a unique partnership with the City of Reno (which donated 4 acres of land in downtown Reno), builders, and the Volunteers of America led by the Community Foundation, The Village on Sage was built and opened in August 2019 at 300 Sage Street, Reno, Nevada. 

The Village on Sage Street is bridge housing that is a hand-up, not a handout or a profit maker. Any single adult who passes a background check and has an income of approximately $1,200 to $3,270 per month will meet the income qualifications for residency. While we expect The Village on Sage Street is a bridge housing for most lodgers, there is no time limit on the length of residency.
