RIVERSIDE – On Tuesday, the Riverside County Board of Supervisors allocated $2 million to TruEvolution to fund construction costs for a transitional housing project in Riverside known as Project Legacy. The new transitional housing will provide safe and sanitary housing to homeless individuals, especially vulnerable groups like LGBTQ youth, seniors, and individuals living with HIV or AIDS.In September 2020, the county received a Homekey Program award for $4 million to acquire six adjacent properties located on Brockton Avenue, Ninth Street and University Avenue for Project Legacy.The board action this week moves the project from acquiring parcels to breaking ground. The funding consists of a $2 million loan carved from the county’s portion of American Rescue Plan Act funds.
