RECOMMENDATIONS

ACCEPT a report concerning the indefinite opening for three- and four- bedroom units at Terraces Senior in Richmond, CA.

BACKGROUND

At its May 18, 2021 meeting, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Executive Director to execute the Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) contract under the Project-Based Voucher program for the Terraces Senior Apartments located at 2100 Nevin Avenue in Richmond, CA. While the wait list used to lease the Senior Terraces was opened in March 2021, we need to reopen the waitlist to ensure the building stays leased.

BACKGROUND (CONT'D)

On August 10, 2021 at 10:00 a.m., the wait list for all units at Terraces Senior will be reopened and will stay open indefinitely. Applications will only be accepted from households where the head of household or spouse is 62 years of age, or older (elderly). Applications from non-elderly applicants will be rejected.

These are nice, brand new units. They should not remain empty while so many people are unhoused. Please share with your networks. Attached are application instructions in both English and Spanish.
