The next round of funding opens February 14, 2025 with an application deadline of Friday, March 14. All application materials are available on the program 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.
Communities are encouraged to apply early to allow sufficient time for implementation before the deadline. Applicants in this upcoming funding cycle would be notified of awards in April which would allow approximately 12-18 months for implementation efforts. Communities that wait until future funding cycles, will have less than a year to achieve the Prop 123 requirements.
Eligibility Note: Only local governments that have filed a Prop 123 commitment with DOLA's Division of Housing are eligible for this funding.
An informational webinar for prospective applicants is scheduled on Thursday, January 9, 2025 from 11:00 - 12:30. Interested applicants are encouraged to register for the webinar.
All applicants must also schedule a pre-application meeting with the LPC Program Manager Robyn DiFalco in order to access the grant application online. The purpose of this meeting is to get feedback on the proposed project and technical assistance before submitting an application.
Grant application materials are available on the LPC program website.
Local Planning Capacity grants support local government efforts to implement systems that fast track or expedite the development review process for affordable housing. These funds can also support local government capacity to achieve local affordable housing goals and local governments’ Prop 123 commitments. Many grantees are exploring land use code amendments, implementing process improvements to streamline the development review process, or investing in permitting software as part of their strategy. Others will use grant funds to inventory potential properties for future affordable housing projects, designate a liaison to work with developers, implement a housing action plan, incentive programs for affordable housing, or efforts to achieve Prop 123 goals such as preservation of mobile home parks.
