Dear Dan Fox:
AWARD LETTER NOTICE YEAR 5 (2023 ALLOCATION)
PERMANENT LOCAL HOUSING ALLOCATION PROGRAM
The Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) is pleased to announce that the City’s tentative Year 5 Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funding allocation is $125,849. Overall, LACDA experienced a decreased level of funding for Year 5 PLHA funds, which is why you will see less funding available now compared to prior years.
Once the LACDA receives the Year 5 funding from the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), the city of Diamond Bar will be required to enter a contract with the LACDA that will set forth the conditions for funding and program/regulatory requirements that are required to be met for the funding and implementation of the City’s PLHA funded activity. Please note that in order to receive funding, the City must be in compliance, specifically having a State approved Housing Element at the time of the award commitment from the State to LACDA.
If you wish to accept these funds for current or new eligible activities, the city of Diamond Bar must:
1. Submit a Letter of Intent which includes concise details of the proposed Activity and Sub-Activity and describes how the City plans to expend the funds by June 30, 2028;
2. Complete a proposed Exhibit A form for the planned activity;
3. Provide a city council approved resolution; and
4. Provide proof of 30-day Public Notice.
Please submit all required documentation on or before February 14, 2025. If the Letter of Intent, including supporting documentation is not received by the due date, the available allocation will be retained by the County and reallocated to Countywide program(s).
Dan Fox, City Manager
