Local Housing Trust Fund
In 2021, the City of Fresno passed Resolution 2021-201, establishing a Local Housing Trust Fund (LHTF) to support access to decent, safe, and affordable housing within the city. The LHTF can provide funding to a variety of community-supported housing programs and activities according to adopted Program Guidelines.
