With that, the city is now putting millions into expanding the project after approving a $2 million funding boost toward pallet homes Wednesday night. 'I want to reiterate that we have not chosen any sites, that we are still in the process to figure out what the best strategy is to communicate to our constituents and our residents where and how these are going to be managed,' said Alma Castro, Santa Fe City Councilor.
The pallet homes in Santa Fe have now housed 29 people since opening last April. Right now, the city's ten pallet homes are located in the parking lot of the Christ Lutheran church which helps manage the site. Out of the 29 people that have lived there, the city says five people have found permanent housing while another five are on a waiting list.
Mayor Alan Webber says there've also been no calls for service at the site. 'So, I think it's a phenomenal success by all measures. It is safe for the residents and for the neighborhood and people begin to get their bearings. They get in a safe place to live,' said Mayor Webber.
With the funding boost, Santa Fe is looking to buy 100 more pallet homes but the mayor concedes that pallet homes are just one part of the solution to the city's homeless issues. 'We need master leases in motels and hotels where we can house homeless people. We need to continue to look for an apartment building or something to buy. We need a day service center,' said Mayor Webber.
The city says part of the funding shift to buy the pallet homes is in part because the city's had a hard time securing the purchase of a brick-and-mortar site for affordable housing.

Mr. McGaugh previously held the position of Senior Vice President of Operations.

About Sonendo Sonendo is a commercial-stage medical technology Company focused on saving teeth from tooth decay, the most prevalent chronic disease globally. Sonendo develops and manufactures the GentleWave® System, an innovative technology platform designed to treat tooth decay by cleaning and disinfecting the microscopic spaces within teeth without the need to remove tooth structure. The system utilizes a proprietary mechanism of action, which combines procedure fluid optimization, broad-spectrum acoustic energy and advanced fluid dynamics, to debride and disinfect deep regions of the complex root canal system in a less invasive procedure that preserves tooth structure. The clinical benefits of the GentleWave System when compared to conventional methods of root canal therapy include improved clinical outcomes, such as superior cleaning that is independent of root canal complexity and tooth anatomy, high and rapid rates of healing and minimal to no post-operative pain. In addition, the GentleWave System can improve the workflow and economics of dental practices.
