program is to increase the capacity of local governments to advance affordable housing goals, especially to streamline the development review process, and to achieve Proposition 123 goals.
A top priority for funding award decisions from 2023-2026 was to support local governments’ efforts to implement the new fast track requirements in Proposition 123. Grant funds can also support increasing planning capacity to advance local affordable housing goals, implementing strategies to increase the number of affordable units built, to achieve Prop 123 commitments.
* The fall 2026 funding cycle dates are as follows: * **Monday, August 24, 2026 Application opens** * **Thursday, September 24 Application deadline at 12:00 noon** * **By mid-September**, interested applicants must also schedule a pre-application meeting with the LPC Program Manager in order to access the grant application form online.
The purpose of this meeting is to get feedback on the proposed project and technical assistance before submitting an application. * Interested applicants are encouraged to review the informational webinar (links to recording and slides in the resources section below). * The Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) and the online application form will be published in the DLG Grants Portal on the opening date of each application cycle.
* Applications will be open for approximately one month, and award decisions will be announced approximately one month after the application deadline. * Application cycles are scheduled twice annually in fall and spring, typically in September and February. Review the information above to determine whether the Local Planning Capacity Grant Program may be a good fit for your community.
For complete program requirements, application instructions, and additional details, please review the resources below. * Eligible entities include municipalities, counties, and tribal governments whose Prop 123 commitment has been accepted by DOLA. * Collaborative, multijurisdictional or regional projects are allowed, with one entity acting as the lead fiscal agent for the application and project implementation.
## Eligible Project Types and Activities Projects are generally considered allowable/eligible if they are: * A. focused on land use planning or community development activities; and * B. will lead to new development or preservation of affordable housing; or * C.
add capacity to a local and tribal government’s planning and permitting work to achieve Proposition 123 requirements (fast track or unit counts). ## Award Amounts and Local Match * **Award amounts**: The suggested maximum award amount is $250,000. Larger grant requests may be considered, particularly for multi-jurisdictional projects.
* **Local match**: A 20% local match is required, except for comprehensive plan and land use code updates, which require a 50% match. * The local match cannot be covered by other DOLA grant funds. * Applicants that can demonstrate financial hardship may request a reduced match waiver before submitting their application.
> Please refer to the**Local Planning Capacity Grant Program Guidelines** for more information.

## Guidance on the Implementation of Expedited Review Requirements in Proposition 123 Proposition 123 states that, in order to remain eligible for Proposition 123 funds in the next three-year cycle (2027 to 2029), local governments must demonstrate they have implemented an expedited review process for housing projects where at least half of the units are affordable.
The Local Planning Capacity Grant Program provides funding to support local governments with implementation of this requirement. While the law states that expedited review must take place within 90 calendar days of a complete application submission, there are many additional details to consider.
In order to help local governments navigate the expedited review (fast-track) requirements of Proposition 123, the Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) has published guidelines. DOLA’s guidance does not prescribe an approach but instead provides a list of strategies and approaches. Each community will need to determine which strategies are most effective for their local processes.
