Hello Stakeholders,

Please be advised that all LAHD projects receiving federal HOME funding granted by HUD after August 23, 2024, will be required to comply with Build America, Buy America Act (BABA) (https://www.hud.gov/baba) .

BABA was enacted under Division G, Title IX of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA, Pub. L. No. 117-58) and was signed into law by President Biden on November 15, 2021. BABA establishes a domestic procurement preference for all infrastructure projects receiving federal financial assistance - including housing projects - and is intended to bolster America’s industrial base, protect national security, and support high-paying jobs.

The Department seeks feedback from the development and general contractor community on how to best implement regulatory changes in the most effective manner.

Please fill out this survey (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1JbmOb5TlfLBSbGGmPsPZAWl1790A03quUCMtZShOtds/edit?ts=66fde838) by October 18, 2024, so the Department can use the input you provide to research BABA thoroughly and coordinate detailed training.

Thank you very much and we look forward to further collaboration.
