Community Type: Family, Homeless or Risk of Homelessness
From Vision to Reality: Legacy Court Grand Opening in Richmond
On March 6, 2026, CHDC proudly celebrated the grand opening of Legacy Court in Richmond, California. A milestone more than two decades in the making.
What began as a vision over 22 years ago is now a reality: 43 families have a safe, stable place to call home. Among these are 13 units dedicated to individuals experiencing homelessness, offering not just housing, but a fresh start.
Legacy Court represents more than housing. It’s a commitment to sustainability and community transformation. The all-electric development features solar panels, energy-efficient appliances, and eco-friendly design elements that reduce environmental impact while supporting long-term affordability.
This achievement would not have been possible without the dedication and partnership of so many organizations who share our mission.

Legacy Court
Community Housing Development Corporation
Legacy Court, located at 1329 Fred Jackson Way in Richmond, CA, is a newly developed family housing project featuring 43 units aimed at supporting low-income households earning between 30% -60% of the area’s median income. Importantly, the development will reserve thirteen units specifically for individuals experiencing homelessness, those at risk of homelessness, or those needing mental health services. To assist these residents, Contra Costa Behavioral Health Services will provide a variety of supportive services, including case management, peer support, mental health care, substance use treatment, and benefits counseling and advocacy.
The project consists of seven two- to three-story buildings spread across three neighboring sites, all within a single block at the intersection of Fred Jackson Way and Sanford Avenue in North Richmond. It will offer a mix of unit types, including one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom apartments. Moreover, one unit will be allocated for a live-in community manager to ensure efficient property management.
