A rule change approved by the Los Angeles City Council could make it a little bit easier to find affordable housing.
The L.A. Council voted to require that all covenanted affordable units in the City of Los Angeles must be listed publicly on the website lahousing.lacity.org, as well as the on leasing website for any relevant project. Additionally, the Council’s instructions to the Housing Department and City Attorney also require an open application process for the new units.
Until now, the process of actually applying for (and securing) one of those coveted affordable units is often unclear. While any income-restricted financed by the city is listed publicly, projects built with private funds had until now not been subject to the same requirement.
