Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency

What Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency does

Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (SHRA) is a joint powers public agency created by the City and County of Sacramento in 1940 to administer federal HUD housing programs and local community development initiatives across Sacramento County and partnering jurisdictions of Folsom, Isleton, and Galt. The agency operates two core housing assistance programs—the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program providing tenant-based rental subsidies and the conventional Public Housing Program owning and operating affordable rental units—supplemented by the RAD-converted project-based Section 8 portfolio. SHRA also delivers homeless services (Emergency Bridge Housing, Meadowview and X Street Navigation Centers), developer financing through gap loans and tax-exempt bond issuance for multifamily projects of 12+ units, the SERA/SERA2 emergency rental assistance program, fair housing counseling, and community revitalization funded by CDBG, HOME, HOPWA, and Neighborhood Stabilization Programs.

Program administration is supported by a portfolio of self-service web portals: the HCV Resident Portal, Landlord Portal, RFTA Portal, Sacwaitlist.com waiting list portal, plus external partner portals for certification, inspections, lenders, and funding applications. Funding flows predominantly from U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HAP and operating subsidies), supplemented by state grants (Homekey, AHSC, NPLH, Transforming Climate Communities) and local redevelopment funds. The agency manages mega-projects including the $300 million Mirasol Village mixed-income redevelopment with McCormack Baron Salazar, the $84 million Phoenix Park rebuild, and the $47 million 7th and H mixed-use development with Mercy Housing California, alongside ongoing senior, veteran (HUD-VASH), and supportive housing initiatives.

SHRA functions as a public-sector intermediary channeling federal, state, and local capital to a network of affordable housing developers (McCormack Baron Salazar, Mercy Housing, Related California, Jamboree, USA Properties Fund, Habitat for Humanity, Mutual Housing), service providers (WellSpace Health, Elica Health Centers), and municipal utility partners. Governance is overseen by the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Commission; the agency employs 251-500 staff and operates from its Sacramento headquarters. Recent disclosures indicate funding-cycle pressure, including an HCV voucher extension policy update tied to funding constraints and a June 2026 HUD HAP payment delay communication. Executive Director La Shelle Dozier is retiring effective October 3, 2025, with succession pending.

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• Jamboree Housing Corporation: Mission-focused affordable housing developer and SHRA's co-development partner on Sunrise Pointe and other Orange County / Sacramento projects. Ecosystem peer that depends on SHRA-originated financing and competes in the same affordable housing developer universe.
• Mercy Housing California: Nonprofit affordable housing developer that is one of SHRA's primary co-development partners (e.g., 7th and H). Included as an ecosystem peer because Mercy operates on subsidy flows SHRA originates, and competes for affordable housing talent and land in the same Sacramento market.

Broad incumbents

• California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD): State-level housing finance and policy agency administering No Place Like Home, Multifamily, and HOME funds that flow down to local authorities like SHRA. Broad incumbent that sits one tier above SHRA in the funding hierarchy.
• New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA): The largest public housing authority in the U.S., operating HCV and public housing in New York City. Broad incumbent operating the same HUD program stack at much greater scale, providing a useful reference for SHRA's long-term trajectory.

Direct peers

• Oakland Housing Authority: Bay Area housing authority running HCV and public housing, plus local affordable housing development partnerships. A close direct peer because of similar California-specific HOME/CDBG funding flows and comparable portfolio scale.
• Santa Clara County Housing Authority: County-level housing authority for Silicon Valley operating HCV and local affordable housing programs. Direct peer in California's Bay Area/Central Valley affordable-housing ecosystem with similar HUD High Performer ambitions.
• San Francisco Housing Authority: City housing authority administering Section 8/HCV, public housing, and local affordable housing programs in another high-cost California market. Comparable in mission, federal program mix, and developer-financing role to SHRA.
• San Diego Housing Commission: Housing authority for the City of San Diego administering HCV, public housing, and multifamily financing across a similarly large California metro. Directly comparable on program mix, HUD funding dependency, and developer partnership model.
• Los Angeles Housing Authority (HACLA): Municipal housing authority for the City of Los Angeles running HCV, public housing, and multifamily financing at much larger scale. Directly comparable because it is a joint city-county-equivalent entity administering the same federal HUD program stack as SHRA.
• Alameda County Housing Authority: County housing authority administering Section 8 and affordable housing development in Alameda County. A direct peer sharing the same federal program administration duties as SHRA within Northern California.
