Applications, which are awarded funding, will become part of the Urban County’s Annual Action Plan, to be submitted to HUD, by May 2024.

The Orange County Urban County Program is comprised of twelve (12) cities with populations under 50,000 (participating cities), two (2) cities, Placentia and Yorba Linda, with populations over 50,000 (metropolitan cities) and unincorporated areas of Orange County.  The twelve (12) participating cities include Brea, Cypress, Dana Point, Laguna Beach, Laguna Hills, Laguna Woods, La Palma, Los Alamitos, San Juan Capistrano, Seal Beach, Stanton, and Villa Park.
