TIDA outlines transition-housing progress, projects 2028 completions and transition offers by 2030
Summary
TIDA staff reported 175 fewer households in former Navy housing since Jan. 2023, 75 households accepted in-lieu payments, and a pipeline of buildings expected to deliver transition units in 2028; staff projected that legacy households should receive transition offers by 2030 but said implementation timing depends on infrastructure and construction schedules.
Treasure Island Development Authority staff presented a transition-housing update that laid out recent moves, in-lieu payments, current vacancies and a projected schedule for transition units through 2030.
The Treasure Island Director (speaker 2) told the board that since January 2023 the number of households in former Navy housing has fallen by 175; 102 of those households moved into new "1 Treasure Island" units. To date 75 households have accepted an in-lieu payment and fully moved off-island, and another 21 households took partial in-lieu payments and left the household. The director said five transition units remain vacant at Starview Court while staff complete the 120-day notice processes required by the authority's Transition Housing Rules (THR).
Staff outlined near-term building targets: a senior building expected in 2Q 2028 (restricted to residents 62 and older with six inclusionary units) and a behavioral-health building in 2028 that will provide supportive housing opportunities; an IC 4.3 family building of about 150 units is also projected in 2028 and is budgeted to include roughly 30 transition units for villages residents. Taken together, staff said those projects and other Stage 3 buildings should allow the authority to offer transition opportunities to the remaining legacy households by 2030, though they cautioned that infrastructure timing and construction coordination remain the biggest schedule risks.
Board members pressed staff on the five vacant Starview Court units and the 120-day notice requirement; staff explained that notices issued to households can take months to conclude and that households sometimes fall out of eligibility during that process, restarting the notice cycle. Staff also said some households were temporarily retained in village units because they sought to purchase below-market-rate units at 490 Avenue of the Palms; those later-completion delays have extended vacancy timing.
On development partners, staff said the IC 4.3 family building is in predevelopment with Catholic Charities in partnership with John Stewart Company (property management) and that additional design-team and permit work is underway. The director said TIDA will continue targeted outreach to prospective senior-building residents and will return to the board with any recommended amendments to the THR to address affordability and eligibility concerns.
The board asked staff for more regular updates on developer progress, occupancy timing, and any proposed THR modifications that would require board approval.
