Housing & HomelessnessContracts

In Plain English

The Richmond Housing Authority's landscaping contract at Nystrom Village expired in June 2025, but emergency tree removal was needed when trees fell during storms and posed safety risks. The contractor removed hazardous trees that threatened residents and buildings, causing costs to exceed the original contract by $36,000. If approved, the city pays these outstanding bills with federal housing funds and extends the contract through June 2026.
