The keys to five brand new little homes were grasped by survivors of the 2017 firestorms at a celebration Thursday in Windsor that praised the manufactured cottages as essential additions to the local housing scene — additions that really must multiply.

Founder of Homes in Sonoma, and Principal of Quattrocchi Kwok Architects, Aaron Jobson, describes the fifteen cottages that are being built for those who lost their homes.

With the one year anniversary of Wine Country’s terrible firestorms coming up next week, some of the people least able to afford to rent or rebuild saw a real ray of hope today in mini homes

The Homes for Sonoma open house, showcasing its first new modular home Thursday at Kendall Jackson Wines and Estate just north of Santa Rosa, attracted more than 50 local officials, 20 fire survivors.

Work is underway to install a total of 15 modular cottages at two sites in Windsor and Fountaingrove nearly a year after October’s firestorm destroyed 5,300 homes in Sonoma County.
