Escheated lots to become affordable housing
Summary
Thirteen vacant lots the county deeded to the city in 2024 will be maintained by the CRA and readied for affordable infill housing. Developers — both nonprofit and for-profit — could be solicited by October or November, with awards possible in early 2027. Board members pressed for permanent affordability so homes don't flip to market price within a few years.
