TO: PARTICIPATING CITIES
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide our Participating Cities (Cities) an update on the Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program (PLHA) funding for Year 4.
The State of California Department of Housing and Community Development released the NOFA for Year 4 in December 2023 and announced that the County of Los Angeles (County) will receive an allocation of $9,451,755.00. Funding has experienced a significant change from previous years due to the real estate transactions in 2022. Cities who have a State-approved Housing Element are invited to follow the instructions below to program their PLHA Year 4 allocation to implement eligible affordable housing programs. Cities can continue to fund existing projects using funding from multiple years.
Attachment A provides the new PLHA Year 4 allocation amounts available to Cities that qualify and wish to utilize these funds for current or new eligible activities. To receive PLHA Year 4 funding, Cities with a State-approved Housing Element who wish to use their available allocation for PLHA Eligible Activities, must submit a Letter of Intent and proposed Exhibit A form to opt-in and receive funding. If applicable, the Letter of Intent must include concise details of the proposed Activity and Sub-Activity and describe how the City will spend the funds by December 31, 2026.
Please consider the complexity of the project being proposed, available resources, and whether the funding amount can be expended by the expenditure deadline. Because the shared allocation limits the amount of funding available to each jurisdiction, PLHA may not be the best funding source for all eligible activities. If you intend to make a change to an existing project that will reallocate funding by 10% or more, LACDA cannot guarantee a timely reimbursement and you may experience a delay in funding. If a city does not submit a Letter of Intent, the available allocation will be retained by the County and reallocated to Countywide program(s).
