The Community Resilience Center (CRC) Round 1 grant is administered by the California Strategic Growth Council (SGC) in partnership with the California Department of Conservation. Planning Grants will fund communities in the initial stages of CRC Project development that need funds for plan development, community engagement, coordination, and other future activities necessary to prepare for implementation. The goal of the neighborhood-level Community Resilience Centers is to provide shelter and resources during climate and other emergencies, such as extreme heat events and poor air quality days. SGC will prioritize community-serving locations across the state, such as schools, libraries, community centers, health clinics, and places of worship.
