Summary
Council approved a purchase-and-sale agreement with SafeQuest Solano to transfer city property for development of transitional housing; SafeQuest representatives addressed the council and asked for support while fundraising and partnering work continues.
The Benicia City Council approved a purchase‑and‑sale agreement with SafeQuest Solano to transfer a city parcel for construction of transitional housing.
A SafeQuest representative thanked the council and described project partners, including an architect donating services, and asked the council for a yes vote to move the project forward. “We’re very excited about getting the project on the road,” the representative said, and noted fundraising will proceed through community foundations.
Councilmembers moved and seconded the item; the clerk called the roll and members voted in favor, approving the sale as part of the consent agenda. The representative said the project team will continue fundraising and community outreach through Solano Community Foundation and partners.
Next steps: administrative closing and coordination between SafeQuest and city staff to implement the sale agreement.
