About Legacy Court:

With 43 total affordable homes, Legacy Court has dedicated 13 units to support residents who are experiencing homelessness or at risk of experiencing homelessness, and residents in need of mental health services. Contra Costa Behavioral Health Services will provide additional support services for these units, including case management, peer support, mental health care, substance use services, and benefits counseling and advocacy.

The development is seven, two to three-story buildings situated across three different sites, all of which are located within one block of each other at the intersection of Fred Jackson Way and Sanford Avenue in North Richmond. The project includes a mix of one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom units. One of the units is set aside for a live-in community manager to help ensure the property is well-managed. On-site amenities for residents include a community room, community kitchen, laundry rooms, a computer lab, and bike parking. The common areas serve as spaces for resident gatherings, community meetings, and social events.
