North Richmond Las Deltas Re-Development

Last updated: November 5, 2025

The Priority Offer Period for the Market Rate Sales phase of the Las Deltas redevelopment ended October 10th. To date, HACCC has received and accepted qualified offers on 16 of the 18 properties from prioritized members of the North Richmond community. HACCC has also accepted 1 offer from a member of the general public, an individual resident of a bordering city with business ties to North Richmond. Bids were made on properties that ultimately allowed for each offer to be uncontested, so no lotteries were required.

Final approvals must be made by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which is currently being impacted by the government shutdown. HACCC anticipates HUD will begin approvals once the government reopens but is unable to predict or guarantee the timing or outcome.

This webpage is intended to share information and updates for the North Richmond community and other stakeholders about the redevelopment of the former Las Deltas Public Housing sites. The Housing Authority of Contra Costa County (HACCC) is transitioning the land through three phases of selling or leasing the land to non-profit developers who will transform it into new affordable housing opportunities.

The goals of these processes are to:

Stabilize and improve the neighborhood
Enable new wealth-building opportunities and self-sufficiency for North Richmond families
Enable a right to return for those who lived at Las Deltas at the time of its closure

History of Las Deltas

HACCC has played a significant role in North Richmond since the 1950s by providing affordable housing to the community through a robust public housing program, that at its peak, offered 224 units of affordable housing across an 11.38-acre main campus, 48 scattered site duplexes, and 4 single family homes throughout the neighborhood. Las Deltas, the main campus, represented more than 20% of the neighborhood’s housing stock at the time the project was decommissioned in 2020. Decades of unsuccessful attempts to bring additional financial resources to the maintenance of the public housing portfolio resulted in the transition of the properties through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program and the Section 18 Demolition and Disposition process. Long-time North Richmond residents were relocated from 2017 – 2020 and the affordable rental funding attached to the public housing units at Las Deltas were dispersed throughout the County through the project-based voucher program.

As the HACCC releases the vacant public housing sites for sale, this process will be the single most transformative factor in determining the future of North Richmond for decades to come. It will have a significant regional impact, due to the sheer scale of the housing development within the Bay Area. This is a pivotal moment in North Richmond and creative policies are needed to support existing and displaced residents’ ability to stay, return, and thrive. This is a once-in-several-generations opportunity to integrate affordable housing preservation and production with comprehensive revitalization and community development of the neighborhood in a manner that achieves long-term community wealth-generation, integrates health equity and climate resilience.
