Community Meetings for the Annual Action Plan

 

The Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) invites the public to participate in a series of community meetings, which are available in-person and virtually, for the purpose of receiving input on housing and community development needs in the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County.  Comments and needs expressed at these meetings will be presented to the County of Los Angeles Board of Supervisors and may be used to develop the Annual Action Plan, which allocates funds in the upcoming Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-2025, starting on July 1, 2024.

The Annual Action Plan serves as an action-oriented management tool, guiding federal grant spending to address housing and community development needs for residents with limited means living within the jurisdiction of the Los Angeles Urban County Program (unincorporated areas and 47 participating cities, visit www.lacda.org). On behalf of the County of Los Angeles, the LACDA administers approximately $33 million received annually from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development through three (3) federal grants: Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnerships Program, and Emergency Solutions Grants. 

The in-person community meeting will be held on the following date and time, at the designated location:

Date/Time:                 Saturday, November 4, 2023, 11:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. (doors open at 10:30 a.m.)
