What happened
The council selected Eden Housing as the preferred developer for Nystrom Village redevelopment, replacing the previously chosen developers. The vote passed 7-1 with Sue Wilson voting no and Cesar Zepeda and Doria Robinson abstaining.
The council approved a $4.5 million Housing Authority budget that includes a $1 million city subsidy. The Richmond Housing Authority manages 783 affordable housing units but receives insufficient federal funding to cover operating costs.
The council unanimously approved adding a public comment period before Housing Authority consent calendar items. This change gives residents a new opportunity to speak about Housing Authority matters before the council votes on routine items.
The council also approved all Housing Authority routine administrative items at once through a consent calendar process. The vote passed 7-1 with Sue Wilson voting no and Cesar Zepeda and Doria Robinson abstaining.
