Federal Grant Award Summary

Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) received a $250,000 formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) on September 18, 2025. This one-time allocation supports emergency safety and security capital improvements for LACDA's public housing portfolio through the Emergency and Non-Presidentially Declared Natural Disaster Set-Aside component of the Capital Fund program. The award, with a completion deadline of September 17, 2027, is intended to address urgent safety and security needs—including measures to combat crime and drug-related activity—that could not be accommodated within LACDA's standard annual capital fund allocation and that occurred within the same federal fiscal year for which funding was requested.

The Public Housing Capital Fund provides formula-based annual allocations to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) nationwide to support capital and management activities for the nation's nearly one million public housing units. Awards under the program typically fund modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and development activities serving low-income residents. The specialized Safety and Security Emergency Set-Aside component, from which LACDA's award derives, distributes up to $250,000 per eligible PHA annually through a lottery selection process due to high demand, with individual PHAs limited to one application per federal fiscal year.
