Riley Court Apartments Project in Concord
BACKGROUND:
On January 11, 2011, the Board of Supervisors allocated $530,000 in HOPWA funds to
Resources for Community Development (RCD) for this project. RCD is now requesting a
loan in the amount $191,000 from the $530,000 that was previously allocated to them on
January 11, 2011. The purpose of the Riley Court project is to improve 48 units of rental
housing affordable to and occupied by lower income families, including those with
HIV/AIDS in Concord and Central County. RCD is the developer of the project, which
involves the rehabilitation of 41-one bedroom units and 7-two bedroom units. Five of the
one bedroom units will be designated for persons living with HIV/AIDS. In accordance
with HOPWA regulations, RCD will contract with the County's Health Services
Department's (HSD) Homeless Program to be the lead service agency and direct provider
of services to residents of Riley Court. RCD acquired the property in 1997 with financing
from the Contra Costa County HOME program, the City of Concord, and other sources.
The project will be constructed in two phases. The Phase 1 scope of work will include
demolishing the pool and replacing with sod planting, installing new bathroom exhaust
system to reduce moisture, replacing mailboxes to prevent water intrusion, and increasing
site lighting for security purposes. Phase 1 construction is scheduled to begin in
September 2011 with a construction completion of December 31, 2011. Phase 1 will
provide two HOPWA units.
Phase 2 of the project is still in the initial stage of development and RCD is working on
putting the financing project together. RCD will be applying for Multi Family Housing
Program (MHP) funds in August and expect an award of $1,200,000 to $1,900,000 in
December 2011. If awarded MHP funds, the Phase 2 scope of work will include
additional landscaping and tree repair, extensive upgrades to the unit interiors including
new cabinetry and energy star appliances, repairs to the unit doors and new hardware,
painting the building exterior and unit interiors as needed, repairs to unit bathrooms and
replacement of vinyl, shower surrounds, shower heads, and toilets as needed, repairs to
the concrete to eliminate trip hazards, replace closet doors, remodel the community room,
install programmable thermostats, replace AC system as needed, and install hardwired
smoke detectors. Staff will return to the Board at a later date for approval of the Phase 2
HOPWA legal documents. Phase 2 will provide three HOPWA units.
The total cost of Phase 1 of this project is $191,000. The proposed development budget
and sources of funds for this project are:

HOPWA funds $191,000

HOPWA units.
