21/05/11 - PLHA 5-Year Plan

AVAILABILITY FOR REVIEW:  PROPOSED PERMANENT LOCAL HOUSING ALLOCATION (PLHA) APPLICATION AND FIVE-YEAR PLAN FOR UTILIZING

SB 2 FUNDS – BUILDING HOMES AND JOBS ACT

The City of Burbank is soliciting public review and comment on the proposed PLHA Application in response to a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) dated 5/3/2021, and a five-year Plan for utilizing SB 2 funds.  The draft PLHA Application and Plan is available for public review beginning Wednesday, May 12, 2021 through this link, PLHA 5-Year Plan.

Background:  In 2017, Governor Brown signed a 15-bill housing package aimed at addressing the state’s housing shortage and high housing costs.  Specifically, it included the Building Homes and Jobs Act (SB 2, Atkins), which establishes a $75 recording fee on real estate documents to increase the supply of affordable homes in California.  The City of Burbank is a direct grantee of funds, and must apply to receive the funds.  In July 2020, the City of Burbank submitted an application for the PLHA funding allocation in the first year, and a spending plan for utilization of the funds through 2023.  The City of Burbank has prepared an application for the second year of funds, and an updated plan for utilization of the funds through 2023.  Written comments on the proposed PLHA Application and Plan should be mailed or emailed to:
