Late last week the Strategic Growth Council released the
Notice of Funding Availability for the 2015-16 Affordable
Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) program. The final
AHSC guidelines are
available online here. Concept applications are due March 16
and applicants invited to submit a full application will be
notified the week of April 20. Full applications will be due on
June 20 and awards will be announced in September.
The SGC’s series of workshops on the AHSC program will continue
next week in southern California. Interested participants can
also sign up for consultation with SGC staff regarding the
eligibility of a specific project that is ready to apply for
funding and other questions.
The workshops will include a presentation regarding the AHSC
Program Guidelines and requirements for Concept Application, with
a question and answer session after the presentation. The morning
session will last from 9:00-11:30 am.
According to the SGC, staff will be available on the afternoon of
each workshop for small group or one-on-one consultations on a
first come, first served basis. The consultations will be 20
minutes in length and will be used to focus on projects that are
ready to apply for the 2015-2016 AHSC Program, discuss project
eligibility, and answer questions specific to the applicant’s
project.
For consultation times, AHSC Program Staff will follow-up to
confirm the exact time of the appointment. Applicants with
projects in or benefitting Disadvantaged Communities (as defined
byCalEnviroscreen
2.0) will be given priority for consultations. However, our
goal is to provide consultations to all who request an
appointment.
