The state is awarding the city of Palm Springs and Riverside County $19.1 million to build and run a homeless navigation center planned for north Palm Springs, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Wednesday.The award means there is now enough money to buy the land, then build the center and operate it for about six years, a county housing official said."We've worked in partnership to obtain this award, and we really want to thank the state for realizing this project will bring a lot of benefits to not only Palm Springs, but the western part of (the) Coachella Valley," said Greg Rodriguez, Riverside County's deputy director for housing and workforce solutions.
