The California Strategic Growth Council (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 Tribes, SGC has developed Draft Grant Guidelines for both programs which are now posted online on each program’s webpage and available for a 90-day public comment period, closing April 6, 2026.
In addition to the general public comment process, SGC is conducting outreach to California Native American Tribes to invite them to participate in formal Tribal consultations during this period.
The Draft Grant Guidelines outline the goals, processes, and requirements for Tribes to participate in the programs. The public comment period offers Tribes and the public the opportunity to inform the development of the Final Grant Guidelines for both programs.
Draft Grant Guidelines Workshop Series
In-person and virtual workshops will be held in January through March 2026. Specific dates and registration information will be posted online on the Tribal Housing and Capacity Building Initiative webpage and shared through our Tribal programs’ email list, once announced.
