Federal Grant Award Summary

The Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) received a $5.36 million formula grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development under the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program (CFDA 14.231), awarded on July 8, 2026, with a completion date of July 7, 2028. This award funds LACDA's delivery of comprehensive homelessness interventions across Los Angeles County, including emergency shelter operations and rehabilitation, rapid re-housing assistance (providing up to 24 months of rental assistance and move-in cost support), homelessness prevention services (up to 24 months of rental and utility assistance), and street outreach to unsheltered populations.

As a formula allocation under the ESG program, these funds support both individuals currently experiencing homelessness and those at risk of homelessness (defined as households earning below 30 percent of area median income facing eviction within 21 days or severe overcrowding). The award may also provide resources to address gaps in federal disaster assistance for homeless populations in jurisdictions where FEMA's Transitional Shelter Assistance has been activated. LACDA will maintain required records for five years and, given the funding level exceeds $750,000, is subject to single or program-specific audit requirements under 2 CFR 200.
