Revised PLHA Section 302(c)(4) Plan
Summary: Recommendation: 1) Adopt a resolution approving the revised Permanent Local Housing Allocation Funds Section 302(c)(4) Plan; and 2) Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to submit a revised application for a project utilizing Permanent Local Housing Allocation funds.
Fiscal Impact: No further fiscal impact.
To submit the revised PLHA plan to obtain state grant funds to further the City's efforts to provide affordable housing.
The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) has released a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) of approximately $320 million for the 2024 Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) program. Funding for the NOFA is provided pursuant to Senate Bill 2. Senate Bill 2 was signed into law by Governor Brown on September 29, 2017 and took effect January 1, 2018. It creates a $75 fee on certain real estate transaction documents when they are recorded, capped at $225 per transaction. The fee does not apply to sales of residential and commercial properties but instead to other transactions like mortgage refinancing and county fixture filings.
Senate Bill (SB) 2 established the Building Homes and Jobs Trust Fund so that 70 percent of the money collected would be deposited into the Fund, beginning in 2019, and allocated to local governments for eligible housing activities. The intent of SB 2 is to provide a permanent source of funding to local governments for housing-related projects and programs that address the unmet housing needs in their communities.
On February 4, 2026, Council approved the Permanent Local Housing Allocation Funds Section 302(c)(4) Plan which included authorization to submit to obtain state grant funds in accordance with the previously approved and set out PLHA plan. Additionally, Council

Activities Detail (Activities Detail (Must make a selection on Formula Allocation Application worksheet under Eligible Activities, §301)) The PLHA funds will be used for the predevelopment, development, acquisition, rehabilitation, and preservation of affordable, multifamily rental housing projects and owner-occupied housing projects identified by the City in collaboration with the Regional Housing Authority, other qualified affordable housing developers, and/or non-profits. 55% is going to rental projects related to rehabilitation in which we will have a contract that contains the language from the PLHA guidelines to ensure compliance with our local Regional Housing Authority. Regional Housing Authority had provided the City of Live Oak with three properties, but after review between RHA and the City, one of the properties did not meet eligibility due being above 80% of AMI and the other while meeting the eligibility there isn't enough funds to fund the project; therefore, the sole remaining propertiy will be intended to receive the benefit of the PLHA funding as they met the PLHA requirements. The work slated to be completed includes but not limited to cabinetry refacing, ADA compliant upgrades to toilets, kitchen improvements, and lighting upgrades.

I. New in this NOFA
A. Affordable Ownership Worker Housing (AOWH) Requirements Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 50470(b)(2)(A), twenty percent (20%) of the moneys collected and deposited in the Building Homes and Jobs Trust Fund shall be expended for Affordable Owner-Occupied Workforce Housing (AOWH).
The Department monitors compliance with this requirement both based on allocations adopted in required 5-year plans and any amendments to that plan as well as actual documented expenditures. Based on these indicators, HCD has determined that at the end of the current 5-year period applicable to CY 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 allocations, funds projected to be expended on AOWH are trailing behind the required 20 percent. As such, the Department will, for this final NOFA covered by the 2020-2025 plans, require a set percentage of funds requested to be for AOWH activities.
These requirements are detailed in Section III(B)(1) of this NOFA {Program Overview, Eligible Applicants, Affordable Owner-Occupied Workforce Housing Requirements}.
II. Overview and Timeline
The California Department of Housing and Community Development (Department or HCD) is announcing the release of the calendar year (CY) Allocation Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Program’s Local Government Formula Component Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA).
Funding for this NOFA is provided pursuant to Senate Bill 2 (SB 2) (Chapter 364, Statutes of 2017). SB 2 established the Building Homes and Jobs Trust Fund (Fund) and authorizes the Department to allocate 70 percent of moneys collected and deposited in the Fund, beginning in calendar year 2019, to Local governments for eligible housing and homelessness activities. The intent of the bill is to provide a permanent, on- going source of funding to Local governments for housing-related projects and programs that assist in addressing the unmet housing needs of their local communities.
This NOFA represents the fifth CY allocation of moneys deposited in the Fund for the prior CY and includes any remaining unawarded funds not requested by eligible Applicants for prior and available CYs.
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this NOFA shall have the meanings set forth in PLHA Guidelines Section 101.
44 California Department of Housing and Community Development Page 2 Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program – CY 2023 Formula Allocation NOFA (Amended 10/15/24, 1/15/25, 5/12/2025)
Applicants may apply at any time after the release of the NOFA, however, any Applicant requesting CY 2021 funds (see appendices A and D), must meet all threshold requirements set forth in the PLHA Program Guidelines, Article III, Section 302, including housing element compliance and Annual Progress Report submittal requirements) and submit all required application materials no later than February 28, 2025. Applicants located in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties must meet these requirements by April 1, 2025.
Awards will be made on a rolling basis as they are received, reviewed, and determined to have meet all threshold requirements. If an application is submitted and determined to be incomplete (including housing element compliance and Annual Progress Report submittal), the Applicant will be alerted to the deficiencies that need to be addressed and the application will be rejected. No award will be made until those deficiencies are addressed to the satisfaction of the Department. Once addressed, the Applicant will need to resubmit the entire application package for reconsideration.
Please note that per state statute, any CY 2021 funds unawarded by June 30, 2025 will revert to the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Fund established to be used for the Multifamily Housing Program.

A. Eligible Applicants
An Applicant must be an Entitlement Local government, a Non-Entitlement Local government, or a Local or Regional Housing Trust Fund delegated by the Local government pursuant to the PLHA Guidelines Article III, Section 300.
1. Delegation of Formula Allocation
Per PLHA Guidelines Section 300 (c) and (d), a Local government may delegate to another Local government or Local Housing or Regional Housing Trust Fund to submit an application and administer on its behalf its formula allocation of Program funds, provided that the parties enter into a legally binding agreement and the funds are expended for eligible Activities and consistent with Program requirements. The delegating entity shall be identified in the application. The administering entity shall be responsible for all Program requirements.
Upon delegating its entire formula allocation to another Local government or to a Local or Regional Housing Trust Fund, the Local government that delegated their allocation is no longer involved in the PLHA application or administration of the PLHA grant for the full term of the PLHA Plan, which extends through 2023. The delegated Local government or Trust Fund assumes full responsibility for compliance with statute and for meeting all the Department’s requirements, including any penalties for non-compliance.
A Local government can subgrant a portion of its allocation to another entity, as permitted by PLHA Guidelines Section 302(c)(3). When a Local government subgrants a portion of its allocation to another entity, the Local government remains fully accountable and responsible for compliance with statute and for meeting all of the Department’s requirements, including any penalties for noncompliance.

Appendix C
Housing Element and Annual Progress Report (APR) Compliance Status Housing element and Annual Progress Report (APR) compliance is a threshold requirement for PLHA.
The housing element and APR compliance status of the Applicant and delegates or subgrantees, if applicable, must be established prior to submittal of the application.
If an Applicant is applying on behalf of multiple jurisdictions or delegating or sub-granting to another entity, the funds may only be awarded for use in a locality that is compliant with its APR requirements and which has an adopted housing element that has been found by the Department to be in substantial compliance with the requirements of Article 10.6 (commencing with section 65580) of Chapter 3 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code, pursuant to Government Code section 65585 at the time of award. If the Applicant is not compliant by time of application that will not prevent an award from being made for use in the localities that have been compliant.
Please note, if PLHA awards are made within 120 days of the housing element due date, the Department may refer to the jurisdiction’s compliance from the prior cycle.
To verify current housing element and APR compliance status, please consult the following resources:
Housing Element Compliance: Housing Element Review and Compliance Report | California Department of Housing and Community Development
Annual Progress Report Submittal: Annual Progress Reports - Data Dashboard and Downloads | California Department of Housing and Community Development Please note that PLHA is an over-the-counter (OTC) program, allowing Applicants to apply at any point during the OTC application window. If a jurisdiction is currently out of compliance, that jurisdiction, may still apply and once it reaches compliance with the housing element and APR requirements, it will be eligible to apply for PLHA funds.
However, if a Local government is requesting CY 2021 funds, they must apply no later than February 28, 2025 (April 1, 2025 for Local governments in Los Angeles or Ventura counties), and demonstrate they have met all threshold requirements, including housing element compliance and APR submittal requirements by no later than at the time of application submittal to avoid reversion.
For questions about Housing Element Compliance, please email [email protected]. For inquiries on the status of APR submittal, please email [email protected].

Appendix D
Urban County Jurisdictions

An Urban County may apply on the behalf of the Local governments listed below, and the Urban County’s allocation can provide funding for eligible activities within the boundaries of these Local governments, as well as the unincorporated area of the designated Urban County.
If an Urban County is applying on behalf of multiple jurisdictions, the funds may only be awarded for use in localities that are compliant with their APR and housing element requirements as detailed in Appendix C. A locality is compliant with its housing element requirements when it has an adopted housing element that has been found by the Department to be in substantial compliance with the requirements of Article 10.6 (commencing with section 65580) of Chapter 3 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code, pursuant to Government Code section 65585 at the time of award.
