Public Comment for the Tribal Housing and Capacity Building Initiative Due April 6
The SGC has approximately $27 million to fund two grant programs that are exclusively available to California Native American Tribes and Tribal entities: the Tribal Capacity Building Program and the Tribal Housing Pre-Development Fund. The goal of these two programs is to fund a wide range of activities related to housing development and climate resiliency.
Based on a series of interviews and engagements with Tribal-serving organizations, SGC has developed Draft Guidelines for both programs which are now posted online and available for a 90-day public comment period, closing April 6.
In addition to the general public comment process, SGC is conducting outreach to all California Native American Tribes and Tribal entities to invite them to participate in formal Tribal consultation during this period. If your Tribe is interested in a consultation with the program team, please email Tribalinfo@sgc.ca.gov with your request.
The Draft Guidelines outline the goals, processes, and requirements for Tribes to participate in these grant opportunities. The public comment period offers Tribes and the public the opportunity to inform the development of the Final Guidelines for both programs. View the Draft Guidelines:
