HUD Grant Programs
The City of Irvine receives annual Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) entitlement grant funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These programs allow the City of Irvine to issue grants and loans to local organizations for a wide variety of community development activities that benefit eligible extremely low, very low, low, and moderate-income Irvine residents.

Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Program
The State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) administers the SB 2 Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) program. The revenues collected for the PLHA program will be used to implement planning policies and facilitate the production of affordable housing and homelessness prevention programs throughout California. Under this grant program, local governments that are entitlement cities and receive Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding are eligible for this grant funding. As an entitlement City, Irvine's PLHA funding allocation will be based upon the federal formula used to allocate CDBG funding.
