I will pre­sent the lat­est BELLA Cen­ter ef­forts to­wards re­al­iz­ing a free-elec­tron laser (FEL) dri­ven by a laser plasma ac­cel­er­a­tor (LPA). In ad­di­tion to sim­u­la­tion and mod­el­ing re­sults per­formed to op­ti­mize FEL per­for­mance, the ex­per­i­men­tal sta­tus of the laser sys­tem, ac­cel­er­a­tor, elec­tron beam trans­port line, and char­ac­ter­i­za­tion of the un­du­la­tor, will be ad­dressed. Sev­eral of our re­cent pub­li­ca­tions play a crit­i­cal role in the LPA FEL pro­ject: Para­met­ric stud­ies of the LPA emit­tance for two in­jec­tion tech­niques based on a sin­gle-shot dis­per­sive di­ag­nos­tic* will be pre­sented, and re­cent in­sight into the ad­van­tages and lim­i­ta­tions of ac­tive plasma lenses** will be cov­ered.
