Part 3 of an Investigative Series

This article presents a consolidated, fact-based timeline of the Triangle Courtyard housing project, the involvement of Prefab Innovations, related litigation, regulatory actions, public complaints, and post-publication statements received after earlier reporting.

It documents what is publicly recorded, what is alleged, and what remains disputed. It does not allege criminal wrongdoing.

2020 to 2021: Project Approval and Early Housing Efforts

December 2020
Kings County approved a design-build contract for the Triangle Courtyard project with Green Galaxy Builders, a Santa Clara-based modular housing firm. The contract authorized up to approximately $4.83 million for design and construction.

2021
Media coverage by Valley Voice and ABC30 highlighted faith-based modular housing projects in Tulare and Hanford tied to Kings Gospel Mission, Cornerstone Community Alcohol and Other Drug Recovery System Inc., and Prefab Innovations. These projects were promoted as permanent supportive housing initiatives funded in part through CARES Act and local public dollars.

2022: Contractor Breakdown and Project Transition

October 2022
Kings County acknowledged that Green Galaxy Builders did not complete the Triangle Courtyard project. County records indicate the contractor delivered 20 of the 24 modular units, declined to submit a performance bond, and cited cost increases as the reason it would not finish remaining work.

A takeover agreement was approved, transferring responsibility for completion to Cornerstone.

November 2022
Prefab Innovations began work on the project. County statements later noted that Prefab reported discovering what it believed to be faulty construction by prior contractors, which contributed to delays and additional costs.

2023: Budget Shortfall and Deadline Extensions

March 2023
The California Department of Housing and Community Development granted the first Homekey deadline extension.

July 2023
The Kings County Human Services Agency reported a budget shortfall of approximately $580,000, prompting fundraising efforts by Cornerstone and Kings Gospel Mission.

December 2023
A second Homekey deadline extension was approved.

2024: Incomplete Project and Additional Public Records

January 2024
The Hanford Sentinel reported that Triangle Courtyard remained incomplete and unoccupied, despite additional private donations. County officials confirmed a remaining funding gap.

March 2024
County staff stated the funding gap had been reduced to roughly $280,000, and the state extended the deadline into April 2024.

June 2024
Court records show Headway Capital, LLC filed a debt-collection lawsuit against David Clevenger and Prefab Innovations related to a business line of credit executed in 2022. The case later closed with judgment entered.

November 2024
Prefab Innovations entered into a product-purchase contract with the City of Fresno for modular crew cabins at Camp Fresno, valued at approximately $129,476.

2024 to 2025: OSHA Regulatory Timeline

This timeline reflects publicly available records from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

This record reflects a completed regulatory process and does not determine civil or criminal liability.

2025: Civil Litigation and Public Complaints

2025
Multiple civil lawsuits were filed in Kings County, Fresno County, and San Mateo County Superior Courts against Prefab Innovations and related entities. Allegations include breach of contract, fraud claims, and commercial disputes. Case outcomes vary, with some matters active, others dismissed, stayed, or resolved.

Mid-2025
A Reddit thread titled “Prefab Innovations Fresno – Our Nightmare Scam” circulated widely. Anonymous users alleged non-delivery of homes, financial losses, communication breakdowns, and unresolved contracts. These claims remain unverified allegations.

Yelp Reviews
Public Yelp reviews reflected sharply divided experiences. Some customers reported successful delivery and installation of modular homes. Others alleged extended delays, licensing issues, failure to refund deposits, and contract disputes. Prefab Innovations publicly denied fraud in responses and attributed delays to permitting issues, financing challenges, or customer-initiated stoppages.

Post-Publication Comment From David Clevenger

After publication of earlier parts of this series, David Clevenger Jr. provided a response disputing aspects of the reporting and asserting that important context had been omitted.

“You are missing a lot of facts which was no more than a phone call away,” Clevenger said.
“PreFab mostly fixed the problems on this site, while the county staff let the original contractor walk away with no bond and $520,000 in cash. If you are going to report, how about seeing all sides?”

This statement was received after earlier articles were written and is presented here as Clevenger’s perspective. Verification of specific claims raised in this statement remains part of ongoing reporting.

Upcoming Interview and Next Reporting Step

Kings Network News will be conducting a forthcoming interview with David Clevenger, founder and chief executive officer of Prefab Innovations, to provide him the opportunity to fully explain his position and respond directly to disputes and accusations surrounding the Triangle Courtyard project.

During that interview, Clevenger is expected to address his assertion that county staff allowed the original contractor to exit the project without a performance bond and with approximately $520,000 in public funds, as well as his claim that Prefab Innovations corrected deficiencies at the site.

These statements represent Clevenger’s claims and perspective. They will be examined alongside available documentation and responses from other involved parties so readers can evaluate competing narratives.

Additional Research Timeline: Genii Homes

As part of ongoing reporting, Kings Network News is conducting further research into Genii Homes, which has been referenced in public complaints and online discussions related to Prefab Innovations.

Mid to Late 2025
Genii Homes and “Home Genii” began appearing in online posts and customer discussions related to delayed or disputed modular housing projects.

2025
Public posts suggested some customers were told outstanding orders might be addressed through a different business name. These statements remain unverified allegations.

Preliminary information indicates that Genii Homes may be operated by Dave Schy, a different individual than David Clevenger.

At this time:

• No court ruling has established a legal relationship between Genii Homes and Prefab Innovations

• No official filings have confirmed shared ownership or control

• No regulatory agency has publicly linked the two entities

Reporting on Genii Homes is ongoing. No conclusions have been reached. Any verified connections, distinctions, or clarifications will be reported separately as documentation becomes available.

Why This Reporting Matters

Beyond contracts, litigation, timelines, and competing narratives, there is a more fundamental issue at the center of the Triangle Courtyard project.

People are still not housed.

More than 5 years after the project was approved, and years after public funds were committed to provide permanent supportive housing, not a single individual has moved into a home at the Triangle Courtyard site. The location remains inactive, and the unhoused population it was intended to serve has seen no direct benefit from the investment.

Public housing projects are meant to result in doors opening, keys being handed over, and people moving from instability into safety. When projects stall for years, the cost is not only financial. It is human.

Each delay represents:

• Individuals remaining unhoused

• Missed opportunities for stability and services

• Continued strain on emergency systems

• Erosion of public trust in housing programs

This reporting is not about assigning blame in advance of court rulings or audits. It is about transparency and documenting outcomes. Regardless of where responsibility ultimately rests, the outcome remains the same for those the project was designed to help.

No movement.
No occupancy.
No relief.
