Housing Development Funding

The City of Long Beach Department of Community Development announces the release of this Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for approximately $3.5 million in Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) funds to be awarded to qualified Community Land Trusts, housing development companies, nonprofit organizations, and/or community development corporations. Eligible activities are limited to the acquisition of land for the future development of affordable rental housing, and acquisition and rehabilitation of existing multifamily rental housing in the City of Long Beach to add affordability restrictions for persons earning at or below 80% of the Los Angeles County Area Median Income (AMI).

Five-Year Consolidated Plan

In order to receive HUD grants, the City must first develop a five-year Consolidated Plan (FY 2023 – 2027 Consolidated Plan). The Plan assesses community development and housing needs and identifies the programs and services that are prioritized and funded by HUD grants in the next five years. Programs include affordable housing, neighborhood improvement activities, public infrastructure improvements, code enforcement and programs for small businesses.


Annual Action Plan

The Consolidated Plan is carried out through Annual Action Plans, which provide a concise summary of the actions, activities, and specific federal and non-federal resources that will be used each year to address the priority needs and specific goals identified by the Consolidated Plan.

The City is currently developing the FY 2026 – 2027 Action Plan for the next fiscal year (Oct. 6, 2026, to Sept. 30, 2027). Beginning in March 2026, the Community Development Department will begin gathering community input for the draft of the Action Plan. The Plan will be available for 30-day public review and comment later in the Spring.
