The Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) Program is a competitive state funding program that aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by funding compact affordable housing in conjunction with sustainable transportation improvements. It provides funding for affordable housing development and related infrastructure, as well as transportation-related amenities, and programs that encourage residents to walk, bike and use transit. Funded by auction proceeds from California’s Cap-and-Trade program, AHSC helps create holistic communities with affordable housing and transportation options near jobs and other key destinations. AHSC is administered by the Strategic Growth Council (SGC) and implemented by the California Department of Housing and Community Development.
With the extension of Cap-and-Trade through 2030, the AHSC Program will continue to receive a 20 percent appropriation of Greenhouse Gas Reduction Funds.
Since launching in 2015, AHSC has invested over $1.7 billion in affordable housing and sustainable transportation improvements across the state. AHSC awarded over $1.2 billion to support 102 projects in the first four rounds of the program. These 102 awards will support over 9,400 housing units, more than 85 percent of which are affordable; more than 150 miles of new or improved bike lanes; and more than 1,000 new or improved crosswalks. Overall, this has led to a reduction of 2.1 million metric tons of CO2-equivalents and about 223,000 pounds of criteria air pollutants.
The upcoming NOFA for AHSC Round 8 is expected to be released in January 2024 in the amount of approximately $650 million. We encourage you to sign up for the Strategic Growth Council’s email list (be sure to check the AHSC box), to ensure you are receiving the latest official AHSC announcements.

DEVELOPER CALL FOR PROJECTS FORM: All interested Round 8 potential applicants will be required to complete the Developer Call for Projects Form to be considered as a potential co-applicant with the City of Los Angeles.
The deadline to submit the completed Developer Call for Projects Form is NOVEMBER 1, 2023 at 5pm.
The City of Los Angeles will be coordinating the application process for AHSC Round 8. LAHD asks interested AHSC applicants to register their affordable housing project with the City. Please note that registering your interest does not guarantee admittance into the City’s AHSC co-application process. The selection process will largely depend on the competitiveness of the project based on the AHSC Guidelines and City priorities.
The City will not be hosting a developer forum this round.
We encourage you to sign up for the Strategic Growth Council’s email list (be sure to check the AHSC box), to ensure you are receiving the latest official AHSC announcements.

Please see the AHSC Round 5 Draft Guidelines and Award Results here.
On June 25, 2020, the State of California Strategic Growth Council (SGC) has awarded $131.3 million to the City of Los Angeles under the Round 5 AHSC Program. This is the largest SGC award to date to the City of Los Angeles.
The AHSC funds will provide much needed gap-financing for the development of seven (7) affordable housing projects with a total of 725 new apartment homes, of which 595 units (82%) will be dedicated for low-income and extremely low-income households. Of the $131.3 million award, $87 million will be allocated for new affordable housing construction and $42 million for transit-related infrastructure projects, including 8.11 miles of pedestrian and cycling improvements. Combined, these seven awarded projects will help reduce over 148,000 metric tons in GHG emissions.
Additionally, the City is partnering with Los Angeles County on the 3rd and Dangler project awarded AHSC funds.
To date, Los Angeles has been awarded approximately $648 million in funding for housing projects and related transportation improvements, providing funding to help create over 4,300 affordable units for individuals and families in need.

As a co-applicant, LAHD works collaboratively with the applicant to develop competitive applications and serves as the lead department for the City’s AHSC application process. LAHD coordinates with other city departments including the Department of Transportation, Bureau of Engineering, Department of City Planning, Bureau of Street Lighting, Bureau of Street Services, and Economic and Workforce Development Department. LAHD also works closely with the appropriate Council District Offices, LA Metro, and our technical assistance service provider.
Since AHSC Round 3, the City of Los Angeles has been responsible for the design, construction, and completion of all transportation-related improvements. The City of Los Angeles therefore receives the transportation-related grants, while the developer receives the housing related loans and/or grants.
