Housing Authority staff said these scattered-site properties are the remaining public-housing units not already conveyed in earlier phases. Staff described the units as in poor condition and often unsuitable for conventional mortgage financing; the authority intends to prioritize offers from former Las Deltas residents, local residents and local workers before listing remaining properties on the open market.

Joseph, a Housing Authority staff presenter, said current appraised values suggest the sales could generate about $7.5 million to support other public-housing work across the county. He said HUD granted special permission to apply local preferences during disposition stages but that HUD had also asked staff to add language to the purchase-and-sale agreement to clarify that sales are to unrelated third parties and that the housing authority will not provide seller take-back financing. Joseph said HUD’s requested edits arrived late and could require returning to the board with amended documents.

John, a county supervisor and board member, told the board the scattered sites comprise a large share of the properties formerly in the Las Deltas portfolio and moved the resolution. Board members voted in favor without recorded opposition.

Staff said the authority prefers to market the scattered sites first to former residents and local buyers, then to local residents and workers, and last to the general market. Joseph cited one example of a former resident’s small company that plans to purchase a unit and keep it as a rental. The authority asked for blanket approval to proceed with sales to avoid delays while awaiting HUD’s formal written response; staff said HUD may still require the board to approve amendments to the sale documents.

Next steps: Staff will proceed with appraisals and targeted local marketing; if HUD requires changes to the purchase-and-sale agreement or to the blanket-approval approach, staff will return to the board with amendments.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Contra Costa - HOUSING AUTHORITY on 2025-05-20 1:00 PM - May 20, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Contra Costa County Housing Authority unanimously approved Resolution 5271 May 20 to sell 25 scattered-site buildings on 18 parcels from the former Las Deltas public housing development at fair market value; staff said appraisals estimate roughly $7.5 million and HUD approval is required for local preferences and sale language.","taxTitle","Contra Costa County, California","taxId",3335,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6646075,"Housing authority selects CHDC and Eden Housing to negotiate redevelopment of Las Deltas main campus",874,290000,1164000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3413748-08d6b7e49e5461532fde7751d6ba4488&start=290&end=1164","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3413748-08d6b7e49e5461532fde7751d6ba4488/thumbnail_290000.jpg","/articles/6646075/Contra-Costa-County/California/Housing-authority-selects-CHDC-and-Eden-Housing-to-negotiate-redevelopment-of-Las-Deltas-main-campus","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6646075-ffcde70550cdd22ea864832c06c2c376/orig.mp4?Expires=1770674424&Signature=J070pSfDqBw6lzg1p2TxgW5p4XvHafFcgP0u3dNJUkU55cB0-6WLoJ8kRq1UtmLukAu7r1UbuK9li1MlrwJfpaBLKFJKDBjrK6MIDR6LPHFPujX3~2FTfMqcwGs8489CvVu61ODRRUo02Z~-sGw6GNemkR7D1zicGduiSYqO1lafpcAPyzR6wtN~nqMfmV30yB1SCRmo4NM34K6Ea4z2NCRmhn2fnzxlO8SrxzRloDsGMy-aprwQQ3TOpNRKs87BXZfHAD14PWShsCxOmRcGcvqM~PIyioRtCX~8v3lKEPLwO-yz-aW0kHKTA1EL8ThX8SgjSnCKe-5Q6dd-515QQQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Contra Costa County Housing Authority voted unanimously May 20 to adopt Resolution 5270, authorizing staff to enter into an exclusive negotiating agreement with the Community Housing Development Corporation (CHDC) of North Richmond and Eden Housing to pursue redevelopment of the Las Deltas main campus in North Richmond.

The item covers an 11.38-acre former public housing campus and directs staff to negotiate terms that would be brought back to the board for final approval. Housing Authority staff said proceeds from phased sales would be used to support other affordable-housing work in the county.

The selection followed a competitive request-for-qualifications process that opened Nov. 4, 2024, and closed Feb. 4, 2025. A seven-member selection panel that included Housing Authority representatives, a county planning official, outside development experts and North Richmond residents interviewed two responsive applicant teams and scored CHDC and Eden Housing highest (76 points) versus the second-place team (70.8 points). Joseph, a Housing Authority staff presenter, told the board the panel evaluated experience, project plan, community partnerships and eight other components.

Joseph said the selected partnership proposes building 25 homeownership units and about 115 rental units for seniors. The presenter described a phased approach to development to match financing availability and said the housing authority expects to receive about $5.5 million from the staged sale of the parcel based on current appraisals. Joseph also warned that state and federal funding uncertainties make financing challenging for whichever developer moves forward.

Donald, speaking at the podium on behalf of CHDC and Eden Housing, said the organizations have decades of local experience and “took all that into consideration when we came up with our proposal.” John, a county supervisor and board member, said, “What happens on this site is really important to the future of North Richmond,” and moved the item. The motion passed unanimously.

The resolution authorizes the executive director to enter into an exclusive negotiating agreement (ENA) with CHDC and Eden Housing to acquire the parcel for appraised fair-market value, subject to approval by the executive director and county counsel. Joseph told the board the ENA, if negotiated, will return to the board for final approval; if the selected team and staff cannot reach consensus, staff may reopen negotiations with other parties or reopen the process.

Background: Housing Authority staff said the Las Deltas redevelopment has been in active planning since 2013. The campus previously hosted Project Pride, a Head Start program and other community services; staff described the site as accounting for a significant share of North Richmond housing stock and emphasized the county’s RHNA obligations when evaluating proposals.

Next steps: Staff will negotiate the ENA with CHDC and Eden Housing, return the ENA to the board for final approval, and continue community engagement per the selection panel’s recommendations.","The Contra Costa County Housing Authority voted unanimously May 20 to authorize exclusive negotiations with Community Housing Development Corporation and Eden Housing for the 11.38-acre Las Deltas main campus; the selected team scored highest in a multi-panel selection process and proposes homeownership and senior rental units.","actionData","errors"]
