The local black hole mass function (BHMF) is of great interest to a varietyof astrophysical problems, ranging from black hole binary merger rates to anindirect census of the dominant seeding mechanism of supermassive black holes.In this Letter, we combine the latest galaxy stellar mass function from theGalaxy And Mass Assembly survey with X-ray-based constraints to the local blackhole occupation fraction to probe the BHMF below $10^6$ $M_{\odot}$.Notwithstanding the large uncertainties inherent to the choice of a reliableobservational proxy for black hole mass, the resulting range of BHMFs yields acombined normalization uncertainty of $\lesssim$1 dex over the $[10^5-10^6]$$M_{\odot}$ range, where upcoming, space-based gravitational wave detectors aredesigned to be most sensitive.
