Richmond Redevelopment and Housing Authority’s board of commissioners voted to approve an application for the next phase in demolishing Creighton Court last night.
But the agenda for this meeting wasn’t posted to RRHA’s website until yesterday morning, leaving just a few hours for the public to register to speak. An agency policy requires speakers to register by noon on the day of a meeting.
Only one person was able to participate. Omari Al-Qadaffi, a housing organizer with the Legal Aid Justice Center, said RRHA is failing to meaningfully engage residents in processes that affect their futures.
The Richmond Redevelopment & Housing Authorityâs Board of Commissioners on Wednesday took another step toward demolishing and redeveloping the Creighton Court public housing community.
In a unanimous vote, the nine-member board authorized the agency to submit a second demolition application to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. With the application, RRHA will seek permission to raze 312 units in the neighborhood â the remainder of the 504-unit complex that was not covered by an earlier application the housing authority submitted this year.
The vote is the latest step the agency has taken toward a goal that city and housing authority leaders have pursued since 2013: transforming the decrepit apartments in the East End into a mixed-income neighborhood with new housing stock.
