Residents Overwhelmingly Back Home Key Plus, Demanding Council Honor Commitment
More than a dozen speakers urged the council to accept the $34.9 million grant, sharing personal stories of homelessness and questioning what alternative exists if the project is rejected.
Why it matters: Public pressure may influence the July 28 vote; several commenters also identified additional grant opportunities including a $900 million Governor Newsom homelessness allocation and a $193 million HUD grant.

Accepting Home Key Could Redirect $500K in Annual Homeless Services Funds From Eight Nonprofits
Council debated whether the city's $1.2 million annual operating subsidy would force cuts to existing CDBG and Housing Successor Fund programs serving thousands of residents.
Why it matters: Housing Successor Funds supporting homeless services for roughly 2,688 residents are projected to run out in two to three years regardless; redirecting them to Home Key would accelerate that timeline and defund eight community organizations.

Notice Of DefaultCity Council13d agoJune 29, 2026
Antioch Inn Is in Default With $400K+ in Delinquent Taxes as City Weighs Purchase
The property has a notice of default filed but the lender supports the Home Key conversion; the owner owes approximately $173,000 in past transit occupancy taxes and $23,000 in water fees.
Why it matters: The property's financial distress raises questions about whether the city would overpay or absorb delinquent obligations, though the lender has signaled support for acquisition through the Home Key program.

Richmond Shares Lessons From Its Own Home Key Hotel Conversion Project
Richmond's city manager and community development director presented their 48-unit Home Key conversion, detailing cost overruns, ground lease structure, and 24/7 security plans.
Why it matters: Richmond's experience—including $2 million in unexpected rehabilitation costs and 18 change orders—previews challenges Antioch may face and demonstrates the importance of third-party construction oversight.

Antioch Studies $34.9M State Grant to Convert Motel Into 84-Unit Supportive Housing
Council held a study session reviewing the conditional Home Key Plus award to acquire and rehabilitate the Antioch Inn into 84 permanent supportive housing units.
Why it matters: Antioch has the largest unsheltered population in East Contra Costa County; accepting the grant would provide housing for veterans, transition-age youth, and chronically homeless residents at a fraction of new construction costs.

FY 2026-27 Budget Passes 5-0 Despite Projected $15M Shortfall Next Year
Council adopted the annual budget at 12:30am with minimal discussion, after spending hours debating how its projected deficits constrain other spending decisions.
Why it matters: The $100M budget draws $5M from reserves this year and faces a projected $14.5-18M deficit next year, making every new spending commitment a zero-sum calculation.

Home Key Decision Punted After 2-Hour Debate Over $1.2M Annual Commitment
Council tabled a $34.9M state Home Key award for 84 permanent supportive housing units, scheduling a June 29 study session to resolve financial and operational questions.
Why it matters: The project would house roughly a third of Antioch's unhoused population, but the city faces a projected $15M+ budget deficit and unanswered questions about property default status and county support.
