City Manager Jim Colangelo issued a press release Friday saying the nonprofit developer, Gilroy-based South County Housing, made mistakes when it held a lottery to decide the order of priority for 273 applicants vying for 48 units in the Vista Point Apartments at 650 Jewell Ave.
“They said ‘We did it, we messed up,'” Colangelo said.
Biggs said it was not clear if the list for all 48 units had to be re-drawn, or just the 13 local-plus slots, but said South County Housing promised it would be sorted out early next week.
“The best thing is to do a new drawing and follow the process,” Biggs said.
