According to a press release from L.A. Family Housing, the development will have a Gold LEED Certification and a landscaped courtyard, as well as community space and offices to support the service needs of residents. Supportive services will be available on-site at no cost to the residents and include comprehensive mental health counseling, case management, recovery support and employment assistance.  

“Palo Verde represents a new model of housing to meet the needs of the most vulnerable people in our community transitioning out of homelessness. This development would not have been possible without the creative collaboration and political will of the public and private sectors who came together with the necessary resources,” said Stephanie Klasky-Gamer, President and CEO of L.A. Family Housing, in a press release.
