Green Infrastructure Grant Program: Board of Supervisors Quarterly Update April June 2026 Program Summary Green Infrastructure Grant Program funds the design and construction of green stormwater infrastructure on large properties and in the public right-of-way, with the goal of reducing stormwater runoff while delivering public benefits that enhance the quality of life for all SFPUC rate payers. Project types can include permeable pavement, bioretention, rainwater harvesting, rain gardens, and vegetated roofs. To receive funding under the Grant Program each project must: 1. Be located on a parcel and/or in public right-of-way that discharges to an SFPUC-owned and operated sewer system service area. 2. Manage stormwater runoff from a minimum impervious area of 0.5 acres. 3. Capture the 90th percentile storm (0.75-inch depth) with the proposed green infrastructure features. 4. Provide at least two (2) of the identified co-benefits from the program list, which can be found in the Grantee Guidebook. 5. Have a grant team that collectively demonstrates a history of successful project implementation and has previous experience designing, constructing, and/or maintaining green infrastructure, and be in good standing in all currently active Green Infrastructure Grant Program projects. More information on the Grant Program can be found at http://www.sfpuc.gov/gigrants.
