Consideration of the City’s Application and Five-Year Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Plan. The PLHA Program was established pursuant to Senate Bill (SB) 2 and provides a permanent, ongoing source of funding to local governments for housing-related projects and programs that assist in addressing the unmet housing needs of their local communities. Estimated funding allocations for Madera for the five-year period between 2019 – 2023 total approximately $2,533,914, with the funding allocation for year 1 (2019) being $422,319. As a requirement of the application, the City must prepare a Five-Year Plan detailing the activities that will be funded and how it will prioritize investments that increase the supply of housing for households with incomes at or below 60 percent of the area median income (AMI).
The Five-Year PLHA plan is incorporated in the City’s PLHA Grant Funding Application.
