About us
The Village Project, Inc. (TVPI) was founded to help meet the needs of the under-served African American Community. TVPI was able to come to life as a result of the passage of the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) of 2004. This Act was passed by the voters in CA and placed a special tax on millionaires in the state to fund special programs so that historically under-served and unserved communities could access mental health services. Our services are based on community defined practices. Prior to TVPI becoming a reality, focus groups were held with a myriad of community members, such as grandparents, social workers, therapist, relative caregivers, civic organizations, pastors and grassroots individuals. The initial focus group was held at the offices of the Monterey Peninsula Branch NAACP (now known as the Monterey County Branch NAACP as a result of the Salinas and Monterey Peninsula Branches merging). The focus group was co-sponsored by Monterey County Behavioral Health Department and headed by Jesse Herrera, Monterey County Behavioral Health Division’s Ethnic Services Manager. As a result of input from individuals in the focus group, it was clear that the community wanted a place where Black people could go to work through the challenges they faced and do so with the help of trusted practitioners in the community who looked like them and understood their cultural dynamics. Prior to TVPI becoming incorporated and receiving its 501c3, the agency’s fiscal sponsor was the Action Council of Monterey. An important fact about TVPI is that while the agency was founded to help meet the needs of the under-served African American community, we provide services to any individual or family in need. Additionally, providing services from one’s cultural identity is paramount to the philosophy of the agency board of directors, staff, founders and clinicians.

In commemoration of Cesar Chavez Day, we wish to acknowledge the invaluable contributions of our Co-Founder and Clinical Director, Mel Mason, towards the United Farm Workers (UFW) cause. Mel played a pivotal role in mobilizing African American supporters to join the picket lines during the lettuce strike of 1970 in the Salinas Valley. This endeavor aimed to compel growers to recognize the union and negotiate fairer wages and working conditions for employees. The strike endured for several months, marked by escalating tensions between the UFW and authorities, leading to numerous confrontations and arrests, including of Cesar Chavez himself. Despite these adversities, the UFW emerged victorious. The boycott effectively pressured growers into negotiations with the union, resulting in substantial improvements in pay and working conditions for many laborers. In recognition of his impactful endeavors during this period and beyond, Mel was honored with the Ralph T. Atkinson Civil Liberties Award in 1998. Therefore, in observance of Cesar Chavez Day, our office will be closed on Monday, April 1st.
