Hawaiian Gardens continues public hearing on PLHA housing allocation to June 25
Summary
The City Council continued a public hearing on the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) program to allow a potential partner more time to finalize a budget; no public testimony was received.
Hawaiian Gardens City Council on Wednesday voted to continue a public hearing on the city’s proposed use of Permanent Local Housing Allocation funds until June 25, 2025, after staff said the organization the city planned to contract with had not finished its budget.
City staff told the council the partner group was not ready with a budget, and recommended continuing the hearing so required materials could be prepared. There were no public comments during the hearing, either in person or on Zoom.
The council closed the public hearing and then approved a motion to continue the matter to the June 25 meeting. Council member roll call showed all members present voting in favor: Council member Farfan, Council member Roa, Council member Vargas and Mayor DePaola.
The continuation preserves the city’s ability to consider PLHA spending once the partner’s budget is submitted; staff did not present or adopt any final spending plan at the meeting.
The item will return to a future council agenda for formal consideration after staff and the potential implementing group submit the requested budget information.
