They would be replaced with 3000 new homes and another 900 council homes would be refurbished.
The tenant board of the NDC approved a revised plan, which includes extra community centres and two healthy living sites, last Monday.
The proposal is expected to be approved at a Brent council cabinet meeting on Monday.
Robert Johnson, housing project director at Brent council, hopes resident backing will speed up the plans.
But he admits some freeholders in the area have concerns about proposed compensation packages, as well as worrying they won't be able to buy back into the area after the regeneration is complete.
Last year the Tenant Participation Advisory Service was sacked from its role as independent consultant after alleging that tenants weren't being sufficiently represented.
Current plans rely on £18m from the NDC and a £10m grant from the council plus up to £200m in free land.
The remainder will be funded by sales of some properties.
