LA County receives $2.7M grant aimed at housing-related hazards

The Los Angeles County Development Authority received a $2.7 million grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development aimed at reducing hazards in public housing communities.

“It is the agency’s goal to continue HUD’s mission to create strong, sustainable, inclusive communities, and quality affordable homes for all,” LACDA Executive Director Emilio Salas said in a statement. “It is our duty to ensure that the public housing residents we serve continue to live in communities that are hazard-free and this grant will assist us in that effort.”

Public housing agencies competed nationwide for part of $20 million in federal funds to eliminate hazards such as mold, carbon monoxide, pest infestations, radon, fire hazards and more.

LACDA’s funds will be used at the Carmelitos Public Housing Development in North Long Beach, and the Harbor Hills Public Housing Development in Lomita. Both sites will receive exhaust fans for bathrooms to prevent mold, and installation of carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in all units.

All home improvements will be completed in compliance of COVID-19 safety construction protocols and building code requirements.
