I. New in this NOFA
A. Updates to Eligible Activities
The 2024-2028 PLHA Formula Program Guidelines (Guidelines) have been updated to streamline and enhance program delivery. As part of these updates, the original ten eligible activities have been consolidated into three new activity categories:
• Rental Activities
• Affordable Owner-Occupied Workforce Housing Activities • Homelessness Assistance Activities
These changes are intended to simplify the application process, align with current housing priorities, and improve the effectiveness of program implementation. Eligible applicants are strongly encouraged to review the Guidelines in full to understand the updated activity categories, eligibility requirements, and application procedures.
B. Authorized Representative Requirement Update: City Applicants
Pursuant to California Government Code Section 40602, a policy change has been implemented regarding the designation of the Authorized Representative for city applicants.
Effective immediately, the Mayor must be listed as the Authorized Representative on the city’s resolution and all application materials submitted under this NOFA.
Government Code § 40602 requires that the Mayor sign:
1. All warrants drawn on the city treasurer,
2. All written contracts and conveyances made or entered into by the city, and
3. All instruments requiring the city seal.
However, the Code also allows that a city legislative body may adopt an ordinance authorizing an officer other than the Mayor to sign such instruments.
Therefore, if a city applicant designates anyone other than the Mayor as the Authorized Representative, the application must include a copy of the ordinance that explicitly grants this authority to the designated officer.
C. An applicant may not request disbursement of funds under the2024-2028 Formula Allocation NOFA until all PLHA funds previously awarded under the 2019-2023 Allocation Cycle for that same activity have been fully disbursed and expended. The Department may waive this requirement on a case-by-case in its sole and absolute discretion.

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 Five-Year Plan and contract. 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 Program Guidelines Section 302(c)(3).

B. Eligible Activities
PLHA funds allocated to eligible Applicants must be used to carry out one or more of the eligible activities listed in Article III, Section 301 of the Program Guidelines. All California Department of Housing and Community Development Page 6 2024-2028 PLHA Formula Allocation NOFA
services must be provided within the county containing the Local Government recipient.
C. Allocation of funding and limits
Appendix A lists the dollar amount of the available PLHA funds by CY Allocation.
As additional allocations become available, they will be added and if a Local Government has applied for and received a CY allocation, there will be a blank in the applicable column(s).
The Department will execute a Standard Agreement for the entire 2024-2028 Allocation Cycle and, as such, an Applicant’s required resolution shall include a five- year estimate of PLHA formula allocations, as stated in Appendix B, as the maximum funding amount. Please Note: The total of the actual allocation amounts for the Five- Year Allocation Cycle may be lower, and any and all the disbursements will be based on the actual allocation amounts. If it is determined after the final allocation has been calculated that a jurisdiction’s actual Five-Year total exceeds the original estimate, a new resolution will be required to reflect the actual total.
D. Program Administrative, Activity Delivery Costs, and Reimbursement of Costs
Predevelopment expenses for construction projects funded by PLHA funds and costs to develop and prepare the PLHA application and Plan may be paid from the PLHA funds regardless of when the costs were incurred. Reimbursement of expenses to prepare the PLHA application and Plan are subject to the cap on administrative costs as detailed in the Program Guidelines. Other costs incurred more than one year prior to commitment by the Local Government may not be paid from the PLHA funds.
E. Application review
An Applicant must submit a complete application and other documents consistent with the deadlines stated in this NOFA. Applications submitted in response to this NOFA must meet the threshold requirements set forth in this section and in Program Guidelines Section 302. It is the Applicant’s responsibility to ensure that the application is clear, complete, and accurate. The Department may request additional clarifying information and/or inquire as to where in the application specific information is located.

Appendix C
Housing Element and Annual Progress Report (APR) Compliance Status
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 planning 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 receive PLHA funds.
However, if a Local Government is requesting CY funds that are at risk of expiring, that application for the expiring CY Allocation must be submitted no later than the end of February of the expiration year, and the Applicant must demonstrate they have met all threshold requirements, including Housing Element compliance and APR submittal requirements for award by no later than June 1st of that year to avoid reversion.
For questions about Housing Element Compliance, please email [email protected].
For inquiries on status of APR submittal, please email [email protected].

Appendix D
Urban County Jurisdictions
The jurisdictions listed below are not eligible to receive a direct allocation of PLHA funds though they can still benefit from the Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program funds based upon an application through their designated Urban County.
An Urban County may apply on 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. If the Urban County is not compliant by time of award that will not prevent an award from being made for use in the localities that are compliant.
