The San Gabriel Valley Regional Housing Trust has been awarded a $250,000 grant through the U.S. Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026 to support the planning and development of affordable housing for low-income and homeless people in the San Gabriel Valley.

The newly funding, secured by Congresswoman Judy Chu and Senator Adam Schiff, may be “used to support early-stage planning activities, project development, and financing strategies that help move housing projects from concept to construction,” according to a news release.

“We are grateful to have strong federal partners like Congresswoman Judy Chu and Senator Adam Schiff who recognize the urgency of addressing housing needs in our region,” wrote housing trust chair and Claremont City Council member Jed Leano in a news release. “Housing is more than a policy issue — it is a fundamental human need. A safe, stable home is the foundation for health, education, and economic opportunity. This funding will help us bring more people inside and closer to long-term stability.”
