2023 Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH) (previously called the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice), which assesses fair housing issues such as segregation, conditions that restrict fair housing choice and disparities in access to housing and opportunity, and establishment of fair housing priority and goals that are then folded into the Consolidated Plan.

2023-2027 Consolidated Plan, which assesses housing and community development needs and includes a five (5) year strategy for the expenditure of Community Development Block    Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), and the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funding to meet those needs. It also includes its companion document, the 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan, which is developed every year to implement activities to address the 2023-2027 Consolidated Plan strategy, including the AFH goals.

The Five (5) Year 2023-2027 Consolidated Plan serves as an action-oriented management tool, guiding federal grant spending to address housing and community development needs for residents with limited means living within the jurisdiction of the Los Angeles Urban County Program (unincorporated areas of the County and 48 participating cities). On behalf of the County of Los Angeles, the LACDA administers approximately $34 million received annually from HUD through three (3) federal grants: CDBG), HOME, and ESG funding to meet the needs within the Los Angeles Urban County.

Additionally, the following 48 cities will participate in the Los Angeles Urban County Program for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-2024:

Comments and needs expressed at these meetings will be presented to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and will be used to develop long-range plans as well as the 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan that allocates funds in the upcoming 2023-2024 FY, which starts July 1, 2023.
