Housing Authority: 17 of 18 Los Deltas parcels have purchase agreements; one sale complete
Summary
Housing Authority staff reported that 17 of 18 parcels at the former Los Deltas public housing site in North Richmond now have purchase-and-sale agreements and one parcel has been sold, with buyers largely former residents or local people; HUD approval of the sales is expected within weeks.
Housing Authority staff briefed commissioners that the conversion of the former Los Deltas public‑housing site in North Richmond has proceeded rapidly: 17 of the 18 parcels now have purchase‑and‑sale agreements and one parcel has already sold. Joseph, the Authority presenter, said most buyers are former Los Deltas residents or people who live or work in North Richmond.
Staff said HUD has been notified and that the Authority expects HUD approval of the sales within one to two weeks. Joseph framed the approach as an effort to preserve neighborhood ties while redeveloping the site, saying the Authority is “trying to do what they call, development without displacement.”
The Authority noted some transactional complications — for example, buyers encountering tax issues on properties they do not yet control — and said staff are working with purchasers and partners to resolve those issues. No public comment was received on the sale report and the commission voted to accept the report.
Staff will notify the board when HUD signs off on the sales and continue coordinating with local partners and residents.
