Declare Housing Authority land exempt from surplus land rules for senior housing project
In Plain English
The Housing Authority owns vacant land next to the existing Nevin Plaza senior building that is nearing completion in February 2025. California law requires special procedures when public agencies dispose of surplus land. If approved, this exemption allows the Housing Authority to lease the land directly to EAH Housing for a 76-unit affordable senior building without going through the surplus land process.
