The City of La Palma is required to have a Housing Plan pursuant to the California Government Code and update it every seven years. Our Housing Plan identifies specific actions the City will take to implement the goals and policies of the Housing Element. Our Housing Plan must accomplish the following:
Provide adequate sites to achieve a variety and diversity of housing types.
Facilitate the development of affordable housing stock.
Promote equal housing opportunity.
Remove constraints to affordable housing development.
Address, and if necessary, improve the existing affordable housing.
Below are the housing programs that assist with the aforementioned goals and policies.

The City’s 13 housing programs for the planning period spanning January 1, 2021, to October 1, 2029, are described below.
Orange County Community Services maintains a comprehensive list of Affordable Rental Properties by City called the "Affordable Rental Housing List." This is not a listing of vacancies but rather a list of rental housing units that are deed restricted to provide affordable units.
