The Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) Program funds community-led development and infrastructure projects that achieve major environmental, health, and economic benefits in California’s most disadvantaged communities. The TCC program is administered by the California Strategic Growth Council and implemented by the California Department of Conservation (DOC). Funding for Round 6 of TCC is provided by the Safe Drinking Water, Wildfire Prevention, Drought Preparedness, and Clean Air Bond Act of 2024, commonly known as the “Climate Bond.” For more information about the Climate Bond, visit https://resources.ca.gov/Bonds-Oversight/Proposition-4-Climate-Bond. Previous Rounds of TCC, Rounds 1-3, are one of many California Climate Investments programs. For more information about these investments, visit: www.caclimateinvestments.ca.gov. TCC Rounds 4-5 are funded by the General Fund.
