Santa Monica Housing Division - Housing Trust Funds
| AFFORDABLE HOUSING TENANTS PROPERTY OWNERS |
Along with rent control, inclusionary zoning, and the programs of the Housing Authority, allocation of resources from the Housing Trust Fund is one of the key drivers of preserving housing affordability levels in Santa Monica.
These funds come primarily from redevelopment loan repayments and the stream of ongoing revenue provided by the voter-approved sales tax, Measures GS/GSH.
View the current Housing Trust Fund Plan (effective through 2021). View the current Housing Trust Fund Guidelines (approved by Council in July 2017).
The City has prepared a 302(c)(4) Plan outlining its planned expenditures of Permanent Local Housing Allocation funding. The City will apply for the funding this summer. View the Plan here.
***Currently the only applications being accepted for Housing Trust Fund loans are for developments which will serve persons living with disabilities or persons experiencing homelessness.***
