The Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) is a State of California program that provides ongoing funding to cities and other eligible local governments to support housing-related projects and activities. PLHA funding is intended to help communities address housing needs, expand the availability of affordable housing, increase housing opportunities, and promote long-term housing stability for residents.
Through PLHA, the City of Citrus Heights is able to invest in programs and activities that respond to the community's housing needs and priorities. PLHA funds may be used for a variety of eligible housing related activities, including the development and preservation of affordable housing, assistance for households experiencing housing instability, and other efforts that increase access to safe, stable, and affordable housing.
Please note that the program is funded through grant resources and does not utilize General Fund dollars.
