Community Housing Development Corporation (CHDC) and Eden Housing recently celebrated the groundbreaking of Legacy Court, a development that will bring affordable housing to North Richmond for low-income households and those experiencing homelessness.

A Dec. 16 ceremony marked the groundbreaking for the development, which will offer affordable housing to 42 low-income households earning between 30% to 60% of the area’s average income, as well as 13 units for “residents experiencing homelessness, those at risk of homelessness and individuals in need of mental health services,” the partners said in a statement. The development will be located at 1267 Fred Jackson Way in North Richmond.

Residents will have access to a variety of amenities such as a community room, community kitchen, laundry facilities, computer lab with high-speed internet and bike parking. Legacy Court will also be wholly electric with energy-efficient appliances and other green elements, with the aim of reducing the project’s carbon footprint.

Residents needing mental health services and related support will have access to Contra Costa Behavioral Health Services on-site.
