The Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) Now Offers YOU Many New Landlord Incentives

There’s a new Emergency Housing Voucher (EHV) program available to Los Angeles County’s rental housing providers!  On May 12, 2021, the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) accepted 1,964 Emergency Housing Vouchers (EHVs), as part of an allocation of 70,000 vouchers issued to public housing authorities nationwide, by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).  The new EHVs were allocated as part of the American Rescue Plan Act, with the intent of assisting individuals and families most in need and for whom providing rental assistance.

YOU may be eligible for the new EHV program.  To help expand the opportunities and incentives for landlords within the Los Angeles County region, the LACDA, the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles, the City of Norwalk, and the City of Pasadena have agreed to allow EHV participants to search for rental units in each other’s jurisdictions.  If you have an available unit in one of those jurisdictions, you are eligible to participate and receive substantial incentives.

The Incentives are substantial.  LACDA is offering these and other financial incentives to participating housing providers: (i) Up to $2,500 sign-on bonus; (ii) Up to $5,000 or up to three months’ rent (whichever is less) as a one-time reimbursement for new contract inspection repairs; (iii) Rental application fees; and (iv) Tenant utility deposit reimbursement.

Don’t miss this important webinar and YOUR opportunity to learn about the new EHV program and how you can be the beneficiary of the financial incentives being offered by LACDA.

PLEASE, join us for what will most certainly be an informative webinar.  Join us for a live discussion to learn how YOU can benefit by the substantial landlord incentives being offered today through LACDA.  During the webinar, we will also cover the following:

• How much rent will LACDA pay for a one-bedroom or two-bedroom apartment?
• What is the quality of tenants provided by LACDA? What if there’s problems?
• What about the inspection process?
• Success stories of families helped through the County’s housing voucher program.
• And, much, much more. YOUR questions will help lead the discussion.

The discussion will be moderated by Daniel Yukelson, AAGLA’s Executive Director.
