What to know first

STATUS: PROJECT WATCH / CITY PLANNING CASE ACTIVE / NO EAR ACTION VERIFIED / APPLICATION OR WAITLIST STATUS NOT VERIFIED. Los Angeles City Planning lists EAR-2026-2907-AH-SPPC-VHCA-AHS at 5139 N. Colfax Ave. in Valley Village for a six-story, 67-foot, 100% affordable residential development with 95 units. The case was filed June 9, 2026, assigned June 11, 2026, is not on hold, and the current public case page shows no EAR action or action date. The City record does not publish a resident application, waitlist, lottery, rent schedule, final income table, bedroom mix, construction-completion date or move-in date.

What Los Angeles City Planning currently verifies

The City's live case page identifies EAR-2026-2907-AH-SPPC-VHCA-AHS at 5139 N. Colfax Ave. in Valley Village, Council District 2. The case was filed June 9, 2026 and assigned June 11, 2026.

City Planning describes a six-story, 67-foot, 100% affordable housing development with 95 units. The requested entitlement likewise identifies a 100% affordable residential development with 95 units. Those are planning facts; they are not a resident application announcement.

The case is active, but no City Planning action is posted

The current City Planning record says the case is not on hold. It also shows no EAR action and no EAR action date. Open House Rentals therefore keeps this page at PROJECT WATCH / CASE ACTIVE rather than calling the project approved, denied, under construction or open for leasing.

An active planning case can move through review on a timeline that changes. Do not infer a determination date, construction start or leasing schedule from the filing or assignment dates. Update this same canonical when City Planning or another responsible source publishes a material next step.

100% affordable does not publish the final resident eligibility package

The City record supports describing the proposal as 100% affordable and 95 units. It does not publish the final household-income limits, affordable rents, utility allowances, bedroom mix, accessibility set-asides, selection method or resident application documents.

Do not borrow income limits, rent tables or lottery rules from another Los Angeles affordable project. Final resident-facing terms can depend on financing, regulatory agreements, unit configuration and the authorized operator's application materials.

Verify the authorized operator before sharing documents or money

If someone later claims applications, a waitlist or preleasing are open at 5139 N. Colfax Ave., independently verify the authorized property operator and application destination before sending identification, Social Security numbers, pay stubs, bank records or money. Start from a responsible government, developer, owner or property-management source rather than an unsolicited text, social post or direct message.

A legitimate future opening should identify the exact property, operator, application status, opening and closing dates if applicable, household and income requirements, unit types, rent or tenant-share method, required documents, selection process and a reliable confirmation channel. Open House Rentals does not control eligibility, waitlist order, lottery selection, screening or approval outcomes.

  • Exact address and authorized operator
  • APPLICATIONS ANNOUNCED / APPLICATIONS OPEN / WAITLIST-LOTTERY / CLOSED status
  • Official opening and closing dates, if any
  • Household and income requirements
  • Bedroom and unit mix
  • Rent and recurring charges
  • Selection or screening process
  • Official confirmation channel

Why this Valley Village project earns its own watch page

This proposal has a distinct official address, case number, 95-unit count and 100% affordable designation in a useful San Fernando Valley renter market. That creates property-level value without turning Valley Village into a generic city-name or neighborhood doorway page.

Keep the exact case number attached to future updates. A later determination, permit milestone, construction announcement or authorized resident-intake page should strengthen this same URL rather than create a date or application-keyword variant.

Use the right site for the next question

Open House Rentals is the housing-discovery layer. It can track this project and, if an authorized application destination appears, point renters to that source. It does not decide who qualifies or who receives a unit.

If a future offer raises a lease, deposit, notice or rental-document question, Max Rental Tools handles that separate law-and-documents intent. If internet service matters for a future move, use Connect Point ISP and the provider to verify the exact property and unit instead of assuming neighborhood coverage.
