The Strategic Growth Council today announced awards for Round 1 of the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities program to 28 projects statewide. Our 6-county region posted 8 of the top 10 highest scoring projects, but in total received only 23% of the total $122 million available from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund.

Four projects statewide scored high enough to be funded, including 3 from the City of Los Angeles, but were not recommended for awards due to the program's cap on any jurisidiction receiving more than $15 million. You can find out more by reading the Strategic Growth Council's press release, and see a list of the projects funded. Here is more information about California's GGRF investments.
