Transformative Climate Communities Round 6 PLANNING Grant (FY 25-26) is sponsored by Strategic Growth Council. The Transformative Climate Communities Program furthers the purposes of AB 32 (Nunez, 2006) and AB 2722 (Burke, 2016) by funding projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) through the development and implementation of neighborhood-level transformative climate community plans that include multiple coordinated GHG emissions reduction projects that provide local economic, environmental, and health benefits to disadvantaged communities. The Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) Program, established by AB 2722 (Burke, 2016), invests in community-led climate resilience projects in the state’s most overburdened communities. The program objectives are to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve public health and the environment, and support economic opportunity and shared prosperity. The Planning Grants intend to support planning activities to prepare prepare low-income, disadvantaged, and Tribal communities for future implementation of programs aligned with TCC Program Objectives. Planning activities should address community priorities and directly benefit these communities. TCC Implementation Grants and Project Development Grants support holistic neighborhood-level projects and pre-development activities, respectively, to advance community-led goals and projects. Please see separate Grants Portal entries for more information. Some examples of eligible activities include: -Building internal and partner capacity to support collaborative partnerships that align land use with environmental, economic, and social justice priorities -Evaluating, updating, and streamlining policies and codes administered by the Planning Department and other local departments (e.g., public works, health and safety, fire, parks, and open space) -Conducting fiscal analyses to assess long-term service costs of future development and inform fee structures Preparing climate action and climate adaptation plans -Conducting inclusive community engagement that incorporates input from local residents and supports and prepares for the future development of innovative and meaningful programs and practices -Preparing for future funding opportunities, including TCC Implementation Grants or similar programs, through activities such as community needs assessments, community health needs assessments, partnership development, engagement to inform project selection, and development or formalization of a shared governance structure (e.g., a Collaborative Governance Structure) -Activities that support development of a Collaborative Governance Structure are strongly encouraged for applicants anticipating a future TCC Implementation Grant -Defining Health Equity and establishing related goals for the Project Area using available resources from the California Department of Public Health and other place-based sources -Identifying and preparing project sites for future community-serving uses, including feasibility studies, site identification (e.g., community land trusts or climate resilience projects), and planning for project implementation At least one Co-Applicant is required.

Transformative Climate Communities Round 6 IMPLEMENTATION Grant (FY 25-26) is sponsored by Strategic Growth Council. The TCC Program furthers the purposes of AB 32 (Nunez, 2006) and AB 2722 (Burke, 2016) by funding projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) through the development and implementation of neighborhood-level transformative climate community plans that include multiple coordinated GHG emissions reduction projects that provide local economic, environmental, and health benefits to disadvantaged communities. The Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) Program, established by AB 2722 (Burke, 2016), invests in community-led climate resilience projects in the state’s most overburdened communities. The program objectives are to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve public health and the environment, and support economic opportunity and shared prosperity. TCC’s unique, place-based strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions is designed to catalyze collective impact through a combination of community-driven climate projects in a single neighborhood. TCC Implementation Grants fund neighborhood-scale applications that include multiple, coordinated projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and deliver broader community benefits. These grants support climate resilience projects and infrastructure that respond to community-identified needs in Tribal, disadvantaged, and low-income communities. TCC Planning Grants and Project Development Grants support planning and pre-development activities to prepare for future funding opportunities and advance community-led goals and projects.

Transformative Climate Communities Round 6 PROJECT DEVELOPMENT Grant (FY 25-26) is sponsored by Strategic Growth Council. The TCC Program furthers the purposes of AB 32 (Nunez, 2006) and AB 2722 (Burke, 2016) by funding projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) through the development and implementation of neighborhood-level transformative climate community plans that include multiple coordinated GHG emissions reduction projects that provide local economic, environmental, and health benefits to disadvantaged communities.

The program objectives are to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve public health and the environment, and support economic opportunity and shared prosperity. TCC’s unique, place-based strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions is designed to catalyze collective impact through a combination of community-driven climate projects in a single neighborhood. The Project Development Grants support disadvantaged communities by funding pre-development and basic infrastructure activities that advance the communities’ climate and community resilience goals and prepare them for future funding opportunities aligned with the TCC Program Objectives. Project Development Grants should respond to previous community planning efforts that identified priority projects and need additional project development and basic infrastructure support funding to get ready for future resilience funding. SGC developed this pilot grant type in Round 5 TCC in response to the expressed support gap between Planning and Implementation Grant funding and to meet communities where they are in their climate resilience efforts, and will continue it into Round 6. Disadvantaged Unincorporated Communities (DUCs), Tribal Communities, Planning Grant Grantees, and Previous Implementation Grant Applicants will be prioritized for Project Development Grants, with DUCs given the most priority. TCC Implementation Grants and Planning Grants support holistic neighborhood proposals and planning activities, respectively, to advance community-led goals and projects. Please see separate Grants Portal entries for information on Planning Grants and Implementation Grants. A wide variety of activities and costs can be funded through the grant. Please see the Round 6 Guidelines for a list of example eligible activities. Multiple Co-Applicants are required.
