The Desert Sun reports today that the Riverside County Board of Supervisors is expected to release an additional $750,000 in funds to help build this thing...
The Riverside County Board of Supervisors is expected today to approve the findings of an environmental impact report on a proposed senior living complex in Menifee and authorize the release of $750,000 in funds to support the project.http://www.mydesert.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=200880617001
The County already has earmarked $2 million from its redevelopment fund. The $750,000 we're talking about here comes from the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development.
Vineyards at Menifee is a 55+ complex, and about 39 of the 80 total units will be reserved for low-income renters. There will also be 15 units reserved for homeless, and mentally-disabled persons under assistance from the county's Department of Mental Health.
You can read more about these 15 "mental health" units from a PDF document published by the county...

Gotta love riverside county politicians.
Lets put section 1A housing in Menifee. Get credit for it and then deed it into a new city and it'll be out of the county.
Steve, your reporting and keeping up with everything is beyond me and I commend you ! What a blessing to the community you are ! BTW, when and what topic is the next radio talk show with Therese?
Are they going to be importing the homeless from around the county? Or will this be for the Menifee homeless?
I would dearly like to see a posting of the rules in the complex-not for the seniors nec. but the homeless or special needs people-who might also be past or present criminals. I do have a homeless,alcoholic relative-a non physical person-but I still wouldn't want them directly set in a new and still fairlt open neighborhood where we are all used to kids on bikes, horses and schools and families-its a stupid move on Riverside County's part.
Welcome homeless and the afflicted, do see how Menifee wants you..they gave an award to someone who ran homeless people from Sun City,,one thing you can always count on from these folks snobs, rude and insensitive and those are their good points..oops did I say one thing.
you should really learn how to speak before you post a comment like that.....
It is concerning considering the already high number of sex offenders in the area. Is there a mental health facility in Menifee that serves these people? It seems you would not want to encourage them to live far from where they need to go to get services. I know Perris, Hemet, and Riverside have clinics. I had a relative that was homeless. It was a choice. Our laws give people rights to choose what sometimes is not best for them.
