The Richmond Redevelopment and Housing Authority, the Community Builders and the City of Richmond earlier this month recognized a “new beginning” for Creighton Court, one of Richmond’s oldest public housing communities. “Housing is foundational and a vaccine against poverty,” said Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney. “Providing quality affordable housing in Creighton Court will be transformational for our residents and is a big step in the right direction for the future of public housing.” The first buildings in Phase 1 of the renewal program were demolished in June 2022. Once Phase 1 is complete, construction of 68 units will begin with occupancy scheduled for mid-2024.
