The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) has awarded over $4.8 million in state grants to fund housing-related projects in Orange and San Diego counties.
State Sen. Patricia Bates (R-Laguna Niguel)—who announced a $4 million award from California’s Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) program on Nov. 9 and an additional $800,000 grant earmarked for north San Diego County on Nov. 12—said the funds will be used to help create affordable housing in the region.
