​ Over 100 Palm Beach County residents, community leaders and​ non-profit partners gathered at the Central County Housing Resource Center at 3660 Coconut Road in Palm Springs to celebrate the ribbon-cutting ceremony on Monday, Jan. 29, 2024.

The new housing resource center will provide temporary housing for adults, youth, families and seniors, with 74 beds, a full-service kitchen, guest laundry, lounge areas and an exercise park. Clients will receive a variety of services during their 90-day stay, including assistance with finding jobs and permanent housing of their own. The Homeless Coalition of Palm Beach County's Breaking Bread Program will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner year-round, while Gulfstream Goodwill Industries will oversee all facility operations.

This project has been several years in the making with the combined efforts of the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners, Palm Beach County Community Services Department, Gulfstream Goodwill Industries, the Homeless and Housing Alliance, the City of Palm Springs and the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office. Special thanks to the Palm Beach County Facilities Development and Operations Department and D. Stephenson Construction Inc. for overseeing the project to its completion.
