Permanent Local Housing Allocation
The City of Shasta Lake is the recipient of State of California funding through the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA), created by California Senate Bill 2. The PLHA provides funding to local governments to administer eligible housing activities to benefit low- and moderate-income persons consistent with the local adopted Housing element. The State requires the City to prepare a Five-Year Plan describing how the program funds will be allocated over the Plan timeframe to eligible activity types. The City's allocation is $102,227 for 2019, $161,424 for 2020, and an estimated 5 year total of $613,366.
The Plan was made available for public review beginning November 22, 2021 and will close on December 7, 2021 prior to review by City Council at their December 7 meeting. The plan can be viewed here, or under the Program Documents section of this page. Residents are encouraged to submit comments by one of the following methods:
