Reading Time: < 1 minute

The County has made $11.5 million available to finance the creation of affordable housing to benefit low-income people and unsheltered veterans.

The notice of funding availability (NOFA) was created from a combination of funds:

• $6.5 million from the federal HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) program,

• $3.5 million from the state's Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) program,

• $1.5M million from the County's Innovative Housing Trust Fund (IHTF).

The NOFA also includes the opportunity to apply for Project Based Vouchers (PBV) through both the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program as well as the Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) programs.

"Our region is behind in housing development to meet the needs of our community," said David Estrella, director of Health and Human Services Agency's Housing and Community Development Services. " We are constantly looking for construction, rehabilitation, and acquisition opportunities that increase affordable housing, supporting families, our veterans and ultimately build a more resilient future for the county ."

Proposals from qualified developers must be complete and in compliance with all the specified requirements set forth in the solicitation documents.

Applications close at 2PM on Dec. 20, 2024.
