The United States Congress has not allocated sufficient funding to properly maintain public housing units. To address this challenge, LACDA intends to utilize the Section 18 Disposition program to sell its public housing scattered sites in the South and East County.
HUD approves removal of units from the Public Housing Program under specific circumstances, including:
Removal is the process by which housing units are no longer public housing but remain affordable through a Section 8 Tenant Protection Voucher (TPV).
Properties will be offered for sale to trusted affordable housing operators with long-term affordability requirements.
You are in compliance with your lease. No rent is owed, no eviction proceeding, etc. If you owe funds to the LACDA, start communicating with your property supervisor to figure out a way to get that paid off as soon as possible.
HUD defines them as four units or less on one side of a city block. Scattered site units are farther apart and more expensive to operate.
