3 Riverside Transitional Housing

A California Project HomeKey site, dubbed Project Legacy. On a block-wide site at the edge of downtown Riverside, a collection of 1920’s bungalows are transformed into a transitional housing complex around a shared community garden. An anchor community and administration building and ancillary gym and laundry structures complete the campus and provide services to tenants and the LQBTQ+ community. New porches attached to the rear of each house provide shaded gathering spaces and a transition zone between the private homes and public garden complete with bleacher seating, large central meeting tree, activity plaza, vegetable beds, walking paths, stormwater swale and vibrant native planting.
