The PLHA award will be made to the Applicant (upon meeting threshold requirements) and the Applicant is responsible for meeting all program requirements throughout the term of the Standard Agreement.
The 302(c)(4) Plan template worksheet requires first choosing one or more of the Eligible Activities listed below. If "Yes" is clicked, the 302(c)(4) Plan worksheet opens a series of questions about what precise activities are planned. Some specific activities, such as providing downpayment assistance to lower-income households for acquisition of an affordable home, could be included under either Activity 2 or 9. Please only choose one of those Activities; don't list the downpayment assistance under both Activities.
If the PLHA funds are used for the same Activity but for different Area Median Income (AMI) level, select the same Activity twice (or more times) and the different AMI level the Activity will serve. Please enter the percentage of funds allocated to the Activity in only the first Activity listing to avoid double counting the funding allocation.
For each year (2020-2023), allocations must equal 100% annually including the allowable administrative costs of up to 5%. 2021 PLHA NOFA Formula Allocation Amount: 2021 NOFA Allowable Local Admin (5%):

§302(c)(4)(C) Provide a description of how the Plan is consistent with the programs set forth in the Local Government’s Housing Element.
Providing funding for affordable housing (including ADUs) and assisting in new construction of affordable housing is one of the key policies in the City's Housing Element Update. In particular, Program 1.4 Accessory Dwelling Units, allows the City to provide incentives to residents to encourage the development of ADUs to facilitate housing production and affordability goals set forth in the 2021-2029 RHNA. §302(c)(4)(A) Describe the manner in which allocated funds will be used for eligible activities.
The City of Norwalk will use PLHA funds for Activity 301(a)(2), for the development of a Permit-Ready Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Program that provides incentives for residents to build ADUs to meet the needs of a growing workforce earning up to 150 percent of AMI in high-cost areas.
§302(c)(4)(B) Provide a description of the way the Local government will prioritize investments that increase the supply of housing for households with incomes at or below 60 percent of Area Median Income (AMI).
For Activity 301(a)(2), the City will contract with a qualified consultant through a Request for Proposals (RFP) to develop a Permit-Ready Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Program. Consultant activities may include (but will not be limited to): 1) compiling local data/inventory; 2) outreaching to residents to confirm ADU needs; 3) developing policies, tools, analyses and enforceability; 4) preparing pre-approved concept designs and full building designs/elevations; and 5) preparing ADU guidelines. As part of the program, the City will incentive housing development with fee waivers, grants to qualifying homeowners to build ADUs, and recording covenant restrictions. §302(c)(4) Plan Rev. 01/23/24

Complete the table below for each proposed Affordable Rental and Ownership Housing Activity to be funded with 2020-2023 PLHA allocations. If a single Activity will be assisting households at more than one level of Area Median Income, please list the Activity as many times as needed to capture all of the AMI levels that will be assisted, but only show the percentage of annual funding allocated to the Activity one time (to avoid double counting).
