Desert Hot Springs has over the last 13 years changed from an oasis of health and healing to a homeless hangout hoping to house 8000 low income to homeless families by 2030.

The Tuscan Hills Specific Plan back in 2006 was being touted this way.

The housing mix is diverse and intended to appeal to families, seniors, and high-end buyers who literally want to “move up” to more open space. Mayer-Luce Development Group’s Tuscan Hills is planned as a 505-acre gated country club featuring 2,000 residences in single family, active adult, and condominium configurations.

The neighborhoods will surround an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Tournament Players Design, led by World Golf Hall of Fame member Johnny Miller.

“Tuscan Hills combines a remarkable mountain setting with championship golf by one of the finest golf architecture groups in the world,” says Walt Luce, CEO of Mayer-Luce. The project will feature a well-appointed clubhouse with first-class amenities, pro shop, generous open spaces, and multipurpose trails. The first phase is set to open in summer 2008. – Palm Springs Life

Now we’re headed towards almost a thousand low income apartments being built at the end of Pierson Blvd. by the Walton International development group on the property labeled the Tuscan Specific Plan.  

Oh how DHS has changed over a short period of time.
