HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AGENCY HIGHLIGHTS HOW IT IS MAKING PROGRESS WITH PURPOSE


Alhambra, November 5, 2026 – The Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) is proud to celebrate the release of its Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 Year End Highlights (YEH). The digital publication, which serves as the agency’s annual report, provides a reflection of its annual investments in housing administration and production, community improvements, and natural disaster response.
The LACDA is uniquely positioned to address an array of County needs. With a hardworking team of skilled employees, the agency serves over 10,000 property owners, 28,000 subsidized households, and maintains over 3,000 public housing units. The YEH celebrates many innovative relationships with public partners and non-profits that provide resource investments to help enrich the lives of the vulnerable individuals and families that live in housing developments the agency manages or supports.
Additionally, with the support of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, and a network of participating cities, County Departments, and other public agencies, the LACDA prides itself on its history of strategic and valuable investments in Los Angeles County communities. In FY 2025-26, the agency not only celebrated the grand opening of multiple affordable housing developments located throughout the County but also fully dispersed emergency response funding that assisted wild-fire impacted small businesses to keep their doors open.
