Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts (EIFDs)
Long Beach
Summary
The city is exploring an EIFD that would set aside part of future property tax growth — not raise taxes — to fund infrastructure and affordable housing, ideally with Los Angeles County as a matching partner. Potential funding ranges from $32–66 million in five years to $550 million long-term against over $5 billion in identified needs.

Impact analysis
No new taxes — it redirects a share of future property tax growth; potential $32–66 million available in five years with county partnership.
The whole city — funds can be spent outside the district boundary — with priorities on infrastructure, affordable housing, and job creation.
A share of future property tax growth would be encumbered rather than flowing to the general fund, requiring careful sizing to protect day-to-day city services.
