The new affordable housing apartment complex on Galindo St. in Concord is nearing completion.
The project, known as the “Rick Judd Commons” is located at 1315 Galindo Street, and will provide 62 new affordable apartments for small families and individuals.
One-, two- and three-bedroom units will be available in this development for individuals and families earning between 30 – 60% of the area median income. 13 units will also be set aside for formerly homeless people with disabilities, according to Resources for Community Development (RCD).
The new affordable housing community is named after Rick Judd, a long-standing member of RCD’s Board of Directors from 2004 until his passing in 2021.
The property, according to RCD, will include a large, outdoor terrace, multipurpose community room with full kitchen, indoor bicycle storage area, on-site property management, and supportive services programming.
Here’s what the site used to look like (below):

All sounds amicable…remains to be seen how it plays out…best of luck
Fantastic, more traffic!
The “project” will soon become “projects”.
Can we once be positive instead of suggesting that homeless people will somehow transfer this great thing that’s going to get some good people let me repeat that good people off the street so don’t judge them unless you’ve walked in their shoes thanks you

The 13 units that have been set aside aren’t for homeless individuals, they’re for formerly homeless individuals, which suggests they’re currently living in or have moved on from transitional housing.
How to apply for residency?
Yes, how to apply??? I want in.
Seem to remember somewhat similar verbiage when Monument Blvd. high density housing was built.
After sweetheart deals expired rents got jacked and condo conversions began.
What has crime rate been over last 35 – 40 years in Monument area compared with rest of Concord.
Or is that the subject of which, they do not speak ? ? ?
More apartments that are “low income ” right soon enough they will turn into a roach infested projects filled with the homeless that don’t want to better themselves. Just trashing it for homeless people who really want to get off the streets I have been there and I have seen some real awful things , real mean things people do to each other that need to be housed in prison or drug rehabilitation places . People change SOMETIMES their gonna want to change there lives not forced to change . Stop calling them apartments that are “low income ” if it’s for people like homeless or low income family’s make it 30% or below that will make it low income housing for we the people that work minimum wage jobs with poopy salary’s I can go on and on but won’t maybe next time.
SEE TOO MUCH .,

Of course this affordable housing project will be roach infested, because the City of Concord is, and has been, infested with American, Asian, and German roaches for the last 35-years.

You told everyone to stop calling this housing “low income” and in the same sentence you called them “low income.” The affordable housing is for those making 30% – 60% of the area median income, not below 30% of the area median income.
Tell us how this is good?The city gets more taxes and doesnt use then to fix up the city and brings in section 8 ers
The City of Concord donated $7.8 million towards the construction of this high-density affordable housing project. This project also received funding from Contra Costa County. It’d be nice to know if this project stayed on its projected $41.5 million budget.
What about using this money instead to help the Seniors in Concord who are barely surviving on minimal Social Security payments? I couldn’t even get my 90 yr old mom into the lottery to get on the waiting list for Section 8 assistance 15 years ago, and I see so many young people living in Section 8 housing near my home in Martinez. How did they get in when she couldn’t?
Just what the police dept needs…. A high rise full of lookie loos peering down on the police parking lot…, NOT!!!! Maybe the city needs to enclose the lot toot suite!!!!!
Low income housing next to the Police Dept.
Now this totally makes sense, it’s like putting the Senior Living Facility right next to the Hospital.
Blah blah blah so a house hold that makes between 30 to 60k a year will be aloud to rent those units and pay $2300 a month. Woo hoo sounds like a real deal to me. This isn’t section 8 or any kind of hand out. And 50% of your take home income is not affordable. 30% is affordable. What happens when the kid gets a job and that house hold income hits $70,000 do they have to move. It’s a house hold income. If both parents work at minimum wage jobs they are over the line.
