Strategic Growth Council Factory Built Housing Pilot Program Round 3 Planning Grant is sponsored by Strategic Growth Council. The Factory-Built Housing (FBH) Program is designed to support regional strategies that use factory-built housing to expand the supply of affordable, high-quality homes across California.
The goal is to create solutions that can be scaled and replicated to move beyond one-off development projects to broader, long-term impact. The FBH Program is funded by a $12,000,000 allocation from the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) Program to fund two grant types -- Catalyst Grants and Planning Grants.
Public Relations Code Section 75210 created the AHSC Program to “implement land use, housing, transportation, and agricultural land preservation practices to support infill and compact development, and that support related and coordinated public policy objectives.
” The AHSC Program receives its funding from California’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF), which is administered in California by the California Climate Investments (CCI) Program.
The FBH Program will provide Planning Grants of up to $3 million over a three-year term to support initiatives that are ready to translate exploratory and early-stage coordination efforts into actionable strategies, scalable plans, and targeted pre-implementation activities.
Planning Grants are designed for projects that have progressed beyond the early-stage activities and are poised to implement or meaningfully advance coordinated planning efforts that position their region for scalable factory-built housing delivery.
Planning Grant applicants must propose a clear vision for expanding factory-built housing at a regional scale and demonstrate that they possess the legal authority, capacity, established relationships, and collaborative infrastructure needed to deliver actionable plans, policies, or frameworks that advance Program objectives.
Planning Grants may fund activities such as: Amending local or regional policies to streamline permitting for factory-built housing projects. Conducting in-depth regional factory-built housing market analyses and developing action plans. Identifying and assessing feasible sites for factory-built housing development.
Advancing predevelopment work and pilot project pipeline planning. Designing regional financing tools or aligning public subsidy strategies. Implementing or advancing regional regulatory or permitting reforms to remove barriers to factory-built housing.
Developing and implementing governance structures and other regional collaborative frameworks. Integrating factory-built housing strategies into regional transportation, climate, or housing plans.
Planning projects are expected to result in actionable frameworks, expanded or formalized partnerships, or proven tools and strategies that accelerate factory-built housing implementation, align regional housing and climate goals, and create replicable models that can be scaled across jurisdictions.
