• 5-year PLHA Plan

  • Description: On December 29, 2023, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) released a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the non-competitive allocation of the PLHA Program for fiscal years 2021 through 2023. The total available funds for the PLHA program are approximately $132.1 million for calendar year 2022 and $128.6 million for calendar year 2023. The City of Holtville has prepared the PLHA Application and required documentation for the allocation of calendar years 2022 and 2023. The funds will be used to subsidize off-site improvements for the Pine Crossing mixed-use apartment complex. In order to comply with the PLHA application guidelines, a final adopted resolution must be authorized by the governing board of the City of Holtville and submitted to HCD by the February 28, 2026, deadline. Additionally, a five-year plan compliant with Section II (G)(8) of the 2024 NOFA must be prepared and made available to the public for review and comment prior to a public hearing. A Public Hearing to discuss the subject matter will be held on February 9, 2026.
