A state housing department has awarded $83 million in federal funds to six nonprofit developers to build more than 400 affordable apartments in Los Angeles County.
The funding by the California Department of Housing and Community Development comes out of $185 million in federal grants to build 18 affordable housing complexes with 1,284 apartments for extremely low-income households across the state, Urbanize Los Angeles reported.
In Los Angeles County, the allocations from the National Trust Fund will support six projects in Long Beach, Compton, Willowbrook, Boyle Heights and Santa Monica. The money comes from both the 2022-2023 and 2024-2025 funding rounds.
