Report Title: ADOPT Resolution to File a Homekey+ Application for the Choice in Aging Senior Housing Project
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
RESCIND Resolution No. 2026-34 and ADOPT a resolution, authorizing the Department of Conservation and Development Director to apply for and execute a contract to accept State of California Homekey+ Funds in an amount not to exceed $30,000,000 for the Choice in Aging Senior Housing Project located at 490 Golf Club Road in the City of Pleasant Hill.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No General Fund Impact. This will be one hundred percent State funded with no County match requirement. This authorization by the Board of Supervisors (Board) is for the Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) to apply for Homekey+ competitive application funds from the State of California for the Choice in Aging Senior Housing project.
BACKGROUND:
On February 10, 2026, the Board adopted Resolution No. 2026-34 authorizing DCD, on behalf of the County, to apply for and execute a contract to accept State of California Homekey+ Funds for the Choice in Aging Senior Housing project located at 490 Golf Club Road in the City of Pleasant Hill.
On April 21, 2026, DCD submitted an application for Homekey+ funds for the Choice in Aging Senior Housing project. Comments were received from State staff and one of the items requested for correction was a resolution from the County naming all co-applicants in the adopted resolution.
Resolution No. 2026-34 only named Satellite Affordable Housing Associates (SAHA) as a co-applicant with the County, when there are two co-applicants in the Homekey+ application. The other co-applicant in addition to SAHA is Golf Club Housing L.P., the SAHA-affiliated limited partnership that will own the Choice in Aging Senior Housing project. Therefore, the new Board resolution, replacing Resolution No. 2026-34, for Homekey+ funds names SAHA and Golf Club Housing, L.P. as the two co-applicants with the County being the lead applicant. The new resolution must be adopted by the Board and submitted to the State prior to June 20, 2026, in order for the submitted application to remain under consideration.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Negative action will further delay the Choice in Aging Senior Housing project in Pleasant Hill if SAHA cannot partner with a local jurisdiction and will not be able to apply for Homekey+ competitive grant funds.
