The Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) is committed to building better lives for all residents, including people with special needs or disabilities. The HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program funds can be used to assist in the development and construction or renovation of special needs housing. In many cases, developers and operators of special needs housing are non-profit agencies that specialize in helping certain populations of people. The LACDA also works as a member of the County’s Special Needs Housing Alliance to continually improve the quantity and quality of special needs housing.
