LACAHSA Community Land Trust/NOAH Program

Introduction

Los Angeles County Affordable Housing Solutions Agency (LACAHSA) is launching its Stakeholder Engagement process to gather valuable feedback to design a funding program to support Community Land Trusts (CLTs) and Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing (NOAH). Through the LACAHSA CLT/NOAH Program, LACAHSA plans to invest up to $15 million to advance the mission of CLTs/NOAHs in creating affordable rental, ownership, and lease-to-own housing for lower income households in the County of Los Angeles.
 
LACAHSA hosted two listening sessions on CLT/NOAHs to gather stakeholder feedback. The Listening Sessions were held on January 21, 2026, and February 11, 2026. Presentation materials and recordings can be found under Listening Sessions.
 
LACAHSA welcomes ongoing input from stakeholders throughout this process. Stakeholders are encouraged to share feedback, ideas, and questions by emailing CLTnoah@lacahsa.govAll submitted comments will help inform the design of the program.

The draft term sheet describes general loan and program terms for eligibility for financing through the CLT/NOAH Program.

LACAHSA is soliciting your input regarding the CLT/NOAH Program. Please submit all your questions and comments in the provided link.
