LACDA Invites Community Voices to Help Shape Housing and Development Strategies

LACDA Seeks Community Input to Shape Key Strategies for Housing and Community Development
LOS ANGELES — Throughout the month of November, the Los Angeles County Development Authority or LACDA held in-person, live streamed, and virtual community meetings for residents of the unincorporated Los Angeles County and participating agency recipients. The meetings collected input for the county’s 2025-2026 annual action plan and included topics relating to homelessness and economic development.
The 2025-2026 annual action plan will disperse approximately $28.3 million in federal community development and housing funds, including an estimated $19.3 million from the community development block grant or CDBG program, roughly $7.3 million from the HOME investment partnerships program, and approximately $1.7 million from the emergency solutions grant program. This funding helps support projects that improve community facilities, streets, and sidewalks; provides childcare programs, services for senior citizens and individuals experiencing homelessness; homebuyer assistance and home repair programs; low-interest business loans and graffiti removal.
During the meetings, attendees were encouraged to complete the LACDA community needs Survey and navigate through the community meeting website yourvoicecounts.lacda.org, to learn more about the process.
Individuals who were unable to attend the community meetings can submit surveys until Jan.31, 2025. Visit yourvoicecounts.lacda.org to learn how to submit a survey online or via U.S. mail. Surveys are also available in English and five (5) other languages, including Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Russian, and Armenian.
