Local government representatives and consultants are invited to a webinar hosted by DOLA’s Community Development office to learn more about completing a Housing Needs Assessment (HNA) as required by SB24-174. HNAs must be completed by December 31, 2026.
The webinar will cover:
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.

Starting January 2025, the Division of Local Government will be making changes to the Local Government Resources Call, with the November 20 call being the final call of 2024.
After taking a break in December to accommodate the holiday season, we will return on a bi-monthly schedule on Wednesday, January 15 at 11 a.m., with topics and programs that support local governments beyond funding navigation.
We will continue to provide DOLA and partner agency updates to local communities before moving into the presentation that covers a new topic each month.
Interested participants are encouraged to register, even if they are unable to attend, to receive the call recording, presentation, and notes afterwards.
Upon registering, participants will be able to automatically add these recurring meetings to their calendars.
The Division is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
