Los Angeles September 30 TEFRA Hearing: 8 Affordable Housing Projects to Watch

What LAHD scheduled for September 30

LAHD's September 22 notice schedules a public hearing for Wednesday, September 30, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time. The notice says the hearing is required under Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code in connection with proposed issuance or reissuance of multifamily housing revenue bonds or notes for the listed projects.

LAHD says the hearing will be held by teleconference and allows interested people to comment on the proposed financing or the projects. Because the LAHD page currently displays inconsistent meeting-ID numbers in different parts of its teleconference instructions, Open House Rentals does not reproduce a meeting ID here; use the current LAHD notice itself for access instructions and any last-minute corrections.

The eight projects named in the official notice

The LAHD table names eight distinct projects totaling 704 units. OHR keeps them together on this financing-hearing canonical because the current event is one shared TEFRA milestone, not eight separate resident application openings.

The projects are Evergreen Village II at 420 N. Evergreen Avenue with 54 units; Selby Gardens at 1740 N. Hudson Avenue with 65 units; Broadway Villages, a scattered-site project at 7800 S. Broadway and 5101 S. Broadway, with 66 units; 443 Soto at 443 S. Soto Street with 138 units; Ross Center - Affordable Housing at 1081 N. Vignes Street with 124 units; Chavez Gardens at the East Cesar E. Chavez Avenue/Fickett Street/Mathews Street addresses listed by LAHD with 110 units; Adda & Paul Safran Senior Housing at 151 Ocean Front Walk, also known as 187 S. Ocean Front Walk, with 64 units; and Baldwin Village II, a scattered-site project, with 83 units across the five addresses listed in the notice.

• Evergreen Village II — 54 units (53 restricted, 1 manager)
• Selby Gardens — 65 units (64 restricted, 1 manager)
• Broadway Villages — 66 units (64 restricted, 2 manager)
• 443 Soto — 138 units (136 restricted, 2 manager)
• Ross Center - Affordable Housing — 124 units (122 restricted, 2 manager)
• Chavez Gardens — 110 units (109 restricted, 1 manager)
• Adda & Paul Safran Senior Housing — 64 units (63 restricted, 1 manager)
• Baldwin Village II — 83 units (81 restricted, 2 manager)

A TEFRA financing hearing is not a renter application

LAHD's municipal-bond-finance page places TEFRA approval inside the City's bond issuance process: after intake and borrower compliance review, LAHD begins TEFRA approval, including publication, a hearing and Council approval. That is a project-financing process. It does not establish that resident intake has begun.

For a renter, the distinction matters. A bond amount, hearing date or restricted-unit count does not publish current rents, household income limits, bedroom mix, accessibility inventory, application dates, lottery rules, waitlist order, screening criteria or a move-in date. OHR therefore will not label any of these projects APPLICATIONS OPEN from this hearing notice alone.

What the unit counts do and do not tell you

LAHD's notice distinguishes restricted units from manager units for each project. Across the eight listed projects, the table totals 692 restricted units and 12 manager units. Those counts are useful for understanding the scale of the financing action, but they are not a current vacancy count and do not mean 692 apartments are available to applicants now.

The word restricted also does not, by itself, publish the final household eligibility rules for every unit. Future resident-facing materials may specify income bands, supportive-housing requirements, age restrictions, referrals, preferences or other program conditions. Use the eventual authorized leasing or housing-agency notice for those details.

How renters should monitor these projects after the hearing

After September 30, watch for an official financing, construction, completion or resident-intake milestone from LAHD, the project sponsor or an authorized property manager. When a real opening appears, verify the exact property, application start and close dates, authorized application destination, household and income criteria, unit mix, rents or tenant-share method, required documents and selection process before sending sensitive information.

For City of Los Angeles affordable-housing discovery, LAHD's Affordable and Accessible Housing Registry is also an official place to search properties and monitor open waitlists or leasing notices. OHR's AAHR guide explains that workflow and the important warning that a registry action is not final rental approval.

Public comment is separate from applying for housing

LAHD says interested people may comment on the proposed bonds or notes or on a project at the hearing, and it provides a written-comment email on the official notice. A person who wants to speak by telephone must submit a written request at least 24 hours before the hearing and include a full name, according to the current notice.

Participating in the hearing does not place someone on a housing waitlist, establish applicant priority or create eligibility for a unit. Likewise, a person does not need to treat this financing hearing as an apartment application deadline. Use the LAHD source for current public-comment instructions and a later authorized leasing source for any resident application.

Last verified September 24, 2026

Verified status: LAHD PUBLIC TEFRA HEARING SCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER 30, 2026 / RESIDENT APPLICATION STATUS NOT VERIFIED. The official notice identifies eight projects and 704 total units and publishes proposed maximum financing amounts for each project or scattered-site component.

Update this same canonical after the hearing if LAHD or another responsible primary source publishes a material financing outcome or a project reaches a genuine resident-intake milestone. Do not create eight APPLY NOW pages from a bond-hearing notice, and do not infer vacancies, rents or eligibility from financing data alone.
