Announcing Latest Awards and September Funding Cycle

DLG has awarded $1.7 million in its latest round of Local Planning Capacity grants, a new program established by Proposition 123, the State Affordable Housing Fund. These awards support local governments implementing Prop 123 goals including fast tracking review of affordable housing and achieving Prop 123 commitments. Review a list of awardees and project descriptions.

The next round of funding opens September 1 - 30, 2024 with $4.8 million available. An informational webinar for prospective applicants is scheduled for Wednesday, July 31 at 2:00 PM. All application materials are available on the website, and interested applicants will need to schedule a pre-application meeting with Program Manager Robyn DiFalco to discuss your proposed project.

In order to remain eligible for Prop 123, local governments must demonstrate they have implemented an expedited review process for affordable housing by the end of 2026. This LPC grant program provides funding to support local governments with implementation of this requirement and can also support local government capacity to achieve local affordable housing goals and Prop 123 commitments.
