The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) program team will host ongoing twice weekly drop-in virtual office hours sessions during the open application period for the PLHA Notice of Funding Availability. Staff will be available to answer questions and assist with application completion. 

Don’t Leave Money on the Table

PLHA provides funding to local governments in California for housing-related projects and programs that assist in addressing the unmet housing needs of their local communities.

This is the last opportunity to apply for 2019 allocations. Allocations that are unclaimed after the close of the current NOFA application period will revert to the Multifamily Housing Program and will not be available under the PLHA program in future rounds. Appendix A in the NOFA details the total funds available to each eligible locality. If the dollar amount is listed under the “Funding Amount 2019” column, the funds are still available.
