Brief

The Board of Fire Commissioners submitted a request for a Fiscal Year 2024 Community Project Funding Grant (B-24-CP-CA-0342) to support Los Angeles Fire Department station renovations.

Full summary

The Board of Fire Commissioners is asking the City Council to authorize acceptance of a $3 million federal grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development under the FY2024 Community Project Funding program. The grant, number B-24-CP-CA-0342, was secured through the support of Congressman Brad Sherman of Congressional District 32 and will fund new flooring, paint, and required environmental review costs at LAFD fire stations located within that district. The grant performance period runs from March 9, 2024 through August 31, 2032. Fire Chief Jaime E. Moore submitted the underlying report to the Board of Fire Commissioners on July 9, 2026, and the Board approved it on August 4, 2026. The report recommends that the Mayor and City Council authorize the Fire Chief to formally accept the grant, execute all necessary documents with HUD, and expend funds in accordance with grant terms. LAFD has already received $1.5 million in City Technology, Construction, Infrastructure, and Equipment Program (CTIEP) front funding to begin the project; the full $3 million is reimbursable through the CPF grant, with LAFD drawing down the remaining $1.5 million as project costs are documented and verified by the City Administrative Officer. The recommended financial actions include depositing reimbursement funds into designated city accounts, authorizing expenditures from LAFD operating and contractual services accounts, and allowing the Controller to implement any necessary technical adjustments. Future repair or replacement needs beyond the grant scope may fall to the General Fund depending on available funding. The file was referred to the Budget and Finance Committee and the Public Safety Committee on August 10, 2026, and no committee action has been taken yet. HUD has separately notified LAFD of its environmental review obligations under NEPA, which must be completed before construction-related expenditures can be reimbursed.
