The Sands Place
The Sands Motel was once a flagship motel along the Golden State Freeway, a prime place for families on vacation to stop and rest while traveling between Northern and Southern California. However, during the 2000s, the area fell into disrepair and became the home to long term residents. The Sands, one of the last remaining motels, was purchased by RH Community Builders in 2021 with a redevelopment plan.
Funded through private development, RH Community Builders has restored The Sands to be a community asset. With a 7 months construction timeline, RHCB transformed a run down motel to state of the art apartments with full kitchens, on-site laundry, and easy access to Fresno City College. The Sands now provides 50 units of affordable housing, a combination of studio and 1-bedroom units. The Sands was developed to meet the needs of Fresno City College students who have experienced homelessness.
