STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: January 23, 2025
PREPARED BY: Ivan Tenorio, Homeless and Supportive Services Manager
SUBJECT: EVALUATING ALTERNATIVES TO TINY HOME DEVELOPMENT:
PRIORITIZING HOUSING AND HOMELESS RESOURCES
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommend prioritizing existing housing and homeless resources instead of tiny home
development.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
At the May 21, 2024, Homelessness Taskforce meeting, members requested information on tiny
home projects. In response, City staff compiled a comprehensive report offering an overview of
several projects. This includes:
Descriptions of four existing tiny home communities.
The range of services offered at each site.
An analysis of the advantages and limitations of these communities.
The report also examines Palm Desert's zoning laws, identifying how they may support or restrict
tiny home initiatives. To illustrate how tiny home projects function across different regions of the
country, the following examples showcase unique communities, each with distinct approaches
to supporting residents and transitioning them into permanent housing. Included are details on
the benefits, challenges, and annual operational costs (not including infrastructure costs).
Community First Village (Austin, TX):
Unit Amount: 500 tiny homes
Land Size: Initially 51 acres, with plans to expand by an additional 127 acres, bringing
the total to 178 acres.
Services: Residents access healthcare, job training, art studios, gardens, and peer
support.
Transition to Permanent Housing: 91% success rate.
Length of Stay: Residents are typically given indefinite stays, as the community aims to
provide permanent housing for the chronically homeless.
Advantages: Provides permanent, stable housing with strong community support and job
opportunities, allowing residents to build a long-term life in one place.
33
Homelessness Taskforce
City of Palm Desert
Evaluating Alternatives to Tiny Home Developments
Page 2 of 5
Challenges: High operational cost and the need for significant land make it challenging
to replicate; long-term commitment can limit spaces for new residents.
Operational Cost: $6 million per year
Interbay Village (Seattle, WA):
Unit Amount: 76 tiny homes
Land Size: Specific acreage is not publicly disclosed
Services: Case management, job placement, health care, and mental health services.
Transition to Permanent Housing: 40% success rate.
Length of Stay: Short-term for 6–12 months, though extensions are possible based on
individual needs and until permanent housing is secured.
Advantages: Modular and scalable; quick to set up and flexible with location options;
effective in reducing unsheltered homelessness quickly.
Challenges: Temporary housing can feel unstable for residents; needs substantial
ongoing support services to ensure smooth transitions to permanent housing.
Operational Cost: $1.5 million per year.
Hope Village (Medford, OR):
Unit Amount: 30 tiny homes
Land Size: 1 acre.
Services: Provides support for mental health, employment, and general counsel ing.
Transition to Permanent Housing: 60% success rate.
Length of Stay: Short-term, often between 6–12 months, with extensions for those
working toward housing stability.
Advantages: Small, close-knit community that emphasizes mental health and
employment support, creating a tailored approach to help residents move toward self -
sufficiency.
Challenges: Limited capacity and high demand result in waitlists; availability of
permanent housing options in the area can impact the transition process.
Operational Cost: $200,000 per year.
Chandler Boulevard Tiny Home Village (Los Angeles, CA):
Unit Amount: 40 tiny homes
Land Size: Approximately 0.75 acres
Services: Case management, storage, hygiene facilities, meals, housing navigation,
behavioral health services, and job training.
Transition to Permanent Housing: 30% success rate.
Length: Short-term, typically 3–6 months, as these villages are focused on rapid
rehousing into apartments or reunification with family.
Advantages: Rapid setup to address urgent homelessness; equipped with basic facilities
and services for daily living and support, making it effective as a short -term solution.
34
Homelessness Taskforce
City of Palm Desert
Evaluating Alternatives to Tiny Home Developments
Page 3 of 5
Challenges: Although the intended stay is 3–6 months, the limited timeframe may not be
sufficient for all residents to secure permanent housing. With a shortage of affordable
housing options in Los Angeles, some residents may face difficulty transitioning and could
return to homelessness.
Operational Cost: $1.2 million per year.
The examples reviewed demonstrate that tiny home projects can effectively address specific
housing needs, particularly for transitional or emergency housing. However, these initiatives
often require significant land, infrastructure, and operational fundi ng, as evidenced by models
like Austin’s Community First Village. Additionally, their success depends heavily on tailored
zoning laws and robust support services—factors that pose challenges given Palm Desert’s
current zoning restrictions and resource limitations.
Funding Challenges
Although innovative, tiny home village funding models face several challenges. Each model
depends on a mix of private donations, government funding, and community support, which can
lead to sustainability issues if any of these resources decrease. High initial costs and complex
funding arrangements can hinder scalability, particularly in resource -constrained regions. The
models that rely heavily on community contributions or volunteer support may struggle with
operational stability, as these resources are not always predictable.
In the City of Palm Desert, funding options are further limited. The City currently relies on
Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funds and Opioid Settlement funds, which are
already encumbered for existing homeless support services. These funding sources are not
available to support the development or operation of new initiatives like tiny home villages .
While these models demonstrate the potential of tiny home communities, local zoning
regulations also play a significant role in determining what is feasible within the City of Palm
Desert.
Palm Desert Zoning Laws
Local zoning regulations pose challenges for transitional or emergency tiny home projects,
including:
Density restrictions and conditional use permits.
Setback, building, and parking requirements.
Infrastructure obligations.
Size and occupancy criteria
Many areas in the city require homes to be at least 1,000 square feet, a standard that tiny homes
typically do not meet. Additionally, density restrictions limit the number of homes that can be
built on a given property, making it difficult to accommodate the smaller footprint of tiny homes
without amending the zoning code. Regulations also mandate specific setbacks, or distances
35
Homelessness Taskforce
City of Palm Desert
Evaluating Alternatives to Tiny Home Developments
Page 4 of 5
between structures and property lines, which can be particularly challenging for clustered tiny
home communities.
Furthermore, under the current Palm Desert Municipal Code, any significant deviation from
established density, size, or infrastructure requirements would require obtaining a Conditional
Use Permit (CUP). This process is often lengthy and uncertain, adding to the comple xity of
implementing tiny home projects. Lastly, infrastructure requirements—such as access to utilities
like water, electricity, and sewage—add significant complexity and costs to such developments.
Alternatives
The City prioritizes working with key partners to implement solutions that address homelessness
comprehensively. This collaborative strategy ensures immediate access to critical resources and
services. These partnerships include:
Coachella Valley Rescue Mission (CVRM): Immediate access to five shelter beds when
requested and provides housing resources to connect those in need of permanent housing
solutions.
Coachella Valley Association of Governments – CV Housing First (CVAG ): Provides bridge
housing, case management, linkage to substance abuse/behavioral health treatment, legal
services, and housing vouchers via Riverside County Coordinate Entry System (CES).
City Net: Street outreach services, case management, linkage to substance abuse/behavioral
health treatment, vital documentation, housing vouchers via Riverside County Coordinate Entry
System (CES).
Code Compliance: Responds to public nuisance complaints related to encampments.
Riverside County Sherrif’s Department: Provides support in managing trespass orders and
addressing individuals engaged in unlawful activities.
Due to current zoning restrictions, high operational costs, and the availability of viable
alternatives, staff recommends prioritizing existing partnerships to address housing and
homeless services effectively. Instead, efforts should leverage and enhance existing resources
to deliver immediate and effective solutions. Well-integrated community organizations already
deliver proven programs, including bridge housing, case management, and housing placement
through the Riverside County Coordinated Entry System (CES).
Strengthening these partnerships enables the City to optimize resources, minimize
redundancies, and implement scalable, sustainable strategies to address homelessness.
Additionally, the City should focus on initiatives that facilitate rapid, adaptable responses to
homelessness while advocating for county-level support to develop affordable housing solutions
aligned with regional and local priorities. This phased approach addresses immediate needs
effectively while laying the groundwork for innovative housing solutions in the future

MEETING DATE: January 23, 2025
PREPARED BY: Ivan Tenorio, Homeless and Supportive Services Manager
SUBJECT: UPDATE ON 602 TRESPASS LETTER LEGISLATION
RECOMMENDATION:
This is a verbal report update; there is no action required with this item.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
In January 2024, California enacted Senate Bill 602, introducing new requirements for 602
Trespass Authorization Letters. This legislation mandates that all 602 forms must be notarized
to be valid. As a result, any online submissions made without notarizat ion are now void. Staff
are collaborating with Code Compliance to provide updated forms and notary services at no
charge to business owners and residents.
Staff is also collaborating with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department to curate a list of
existing businesses under the previous system and effectively notify them of these changes.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No financial impact.
