Caltrans Seeks Housing-Related Entities Interested in Purchasing State Route 710 Properties for Affordable Housing

LOS ANGELES - The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is inviting Housing-Related Entities (HREs) to purchase Caltrans-owned homes along the State Route 710 corridor in Pasadena, South Pasadena and the El Sereno neighborhood in Los Angeles for the purpose of affordable housing.

Caltrans encourages interested HREs to email SR710@dot.ca.gov and include the following details:

• Organization name
• Address
• Email address
• Qualifications

Qualifications should include the HRE’s mission statement, experience in providing affordable housing, the number of affordable housing units in their portfolio, the experience of the management team and the HRE’s reputation as a provider of affordable housing.

Caltrans encourages HREs to submit their information for approval by May 30, 2025, before the expected release date of the available properties, which is anticipated in early summer. Upon approval, HREs will be notified and placed on a registry for property bid requests. The registry status will be valid for three years.

Caltrans is also in the process of selling occupied rentals to current tenants via the Roberti Act, which dictates the order of sales for properties on the corridor. Every tenant living in a single-family residence on the corridor has received a Notice of Solicitation to purchase their rental.

Sales Order of Priority

Caltrans is offering for sale properties owned by Caltrans along the SR-710 Corridor pursuant to the Roberti Act / Statutes GC54235-54238.9. The Statutes dictate the sequential order of priorities in which Caltrans can offer the SR-710 properties. If a property is not purchased in the current priority, it moves onto the next priority. The priorities are further divided by the City that the property is in: El Sereno / Los Angeles, Pasadena, and South Pasadena. Caltrans is offering the SR-710 properties in the following order:

Priority 0: Sales to Former Owners (Current Tenants)

Priority 1: Sales to Lower and Moderate-Income Households (Current Tenants)

Priority 2: Sales to Above Moderate-Income Households (Current Tenants)

Priority 3: Housing-Related Public Entities

Priority 4: SB 580 Properties

Priority 5: Housing-Related Private Entities

Priority 6: Sales to Current Tenants at Fair Market Value

Priority 7: Sales to Former Tenants at Fair Market Value

Priority 8: Public Auction (General Public)

Priority 9: Surplus Nonresidential Properties

The infographic above shows the sale priorities for each City (left to right) from the first priority at the top to the last priority at the bottom. It is color-coded by the sales price that each priority is eligible for. (i.e. If you are a member of the general public, your eligibility to purchase Caltrans-owned SR-710 properties will be if and when the property enters Priority 8 at Public Auction at Fair Market Value.)

If and when a property goes to public auction, it is sold by the Caltrans Right of Way Excess Land team.  All upcoming public auctions (including ones for non-710 properties) can be found on Caltrans Properties for Sale or Lease. Caltrans Excess Land can be contacted at D7Auctions@dot.ca.gov or (213) 897-1868 for additional questions regarding the auction process.
