San Gabriel Valley Housing

Affordable housing resources

If you need housing help today, the organizations below can actually place you on a waiting list, issue a voucher, or open a shelter door. We can't — see why below.

SGV Housing is not a government agency, a housing authority, or a nonprofit. We are an independent real estate and development advisory. We cannot issue vouchers, place you on a waiting list, or determine your eligibility for any program below — only the agencies themselves can.

Regional & city programs

San Gabriel Valley Regional Housing Trust

A joint powers authority of 25 SGV member cities that funds and finances the construction of affordable and homeless housing across the valley — not a direct-assistance line for individuals, but the entity behind many of the region's affordable projects.

City of Pasadena, Department of Housing

Pasadena runs its own Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program and affordable-housing development pipeline, separate from the county authority.

Pasadena city page

Most San Gabriel Valley cities don't run their own housing department — they're served by LACDA above. Only cities with their own department are listed here individually.

What SGV Housing does

We are a development and land-use advisory for property owners and small-scale investors, and an independent civic resource tracking what's being built across the valley. We do not administer housing assistance. If you're a landowner evaluating development potential, that's where we can help.
