The Harbor Community Benefit Foundation, in collaboration with the TraPac Appellants, is excited to announce the solicitation of  applications for Round 2 of the Healthy Harbor Communities Initiative Grant Program. The purpose of this grant program, which was first launched in 2020, is to address and mitigate the impacts of Port of Los Angeles and Port-related activity on the health and well-being of San Pedro and Wilmington residents. We are committed to promoting health and creating a healthy environment for those affected by Port operations. HCBF intends to distribute up to a total of $350,000 in grant awards. We anticipate awarding funds for three proposals, with $250,000 available for one large grant, and the remaining $100,000 available for two grants of $50,000 each.

Decline-in-Value Assessments for Businesses Affected by COVID-19 Pandemic

While home prices have skyrocketed during the pandemic, many small businesses and retail property owners have struggled to hang-on despite significant losses. Due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Los Angeles County Assessor's Office is proactively reviewing small business and other commercial properties to determine if they are entitled to property tax relief.  If you think your property lost value because of the pandemic-induced recession, you may be eligible for a decline-in-value review of your property’s assessment. The filing period to request a review runs through November 30, 2021.  Learn more at assessor.lacounty.gov.
