In a landmark event to commemorate Human Rights Day, the Partnership for the Advancement of New Americans (PANA) unveiled the site for the Refugee and Immigrant Culture Hub (RICH)—a groundbreaking housing and cultural campus designed to provide crucial services for refugees and immigrants in San Diego. 

The unveiling took place on Saturday, December 7, at the newly purchased 2.2-acre site in Mid-City, which is set to become a transformative space for San Diego’s diverse refugee and immigrant communities.  The estimated completion date for the project is 2030. 

The ceremony was held just days before International Human Rights Day on December 10, highlighting the importance of welcoming and supporting displaced people. The project provides a beacon of light at a time when refugee and immigrant communities are bracing for the next Trump Administration.

The RICH project will also address the ongoing housing crisis in San Diego by providing housing and community support for refugees and immigrants.
