Thousand PalmS... PAGE 1 and the Thousand Palms Community Park are within short walking distance from the community. Legacy is named in honor of the late Supervisor Roy Wilson, who supported the project and helped facilitate the project through the county. “Supervisor Wilson’s vision and tireless dedication initiated and made this development possible,” said Dan Horn, President and CEO of Palm Communities. “I was able to share in Roy’s vision because my father, Dana
Horn, instilled in me the same intense desire to provide safe and decent affordable housing for those most in need.” The former Redevelopment Agency for the County of Riverside contributed $7.3 million toward the $24.4 million total project cost. Approximately $1.6 million came from the Mental Health Services Act. The Riverside County Department of Mental Health’s Homeless/Housing, Opportunities Partnership and Education Program will serve clients in 15 units of supportive
housing. The project began construction in March 2011 and was completed and fully leased by May 31, 2012. The project’s environmental design incorporated energy and water saving systems and nontoxic building materials. Architectural features include stone veneers, tile roofs, varied stucco finishes, articulated entries and architectural projections. Tours and refreshments will be available after the ceremony.
