Palm Desert Development Company believes that making affordable rental units available to our low and moderate-income families and seniors is often the first step to ending the cycle of poverty.  By paying for housing that is affordable and participating in budget and finance classes offered by qualified social service providers, residents have the opportunity to learn how to save money for a down payment on a home, finance an education or start a business.  Obtaining affordable housing is the first step in achieving the American Dream.
