SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 2023-62 Authorizing the City Manager to Submit an Application to the Strategic Growth Council for the Community Resilience Centers Implementation Grant Program in the Amount of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) and Approve the Collaborative Stakeholder Structure, the Draft Partnership Agreement, and Execute All Related Grant Documents STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council considers adopting Resolution No. 2023-62 authorizing the City Manager to submit an application to the Strategic Growth Council under the Community Resilience Centers (CRC) Implementation Grant Program in the amount of ten million dollars ($10,000,000) and approve the Collaborative Stakeholder Structure, the Draft Partnership Agreement, and authorize the City Manager to execute all related grant documents BACKGROUND:
Senate Bill (SB) 155 (Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review, Chapter 258, Statutes of 2021) created SGC’s CRC program with “funding…for the construction or retrofit of facilities to serve as community resilience centers that mitigate the public health impacts of extreme heat and other emergency situations exacerbated by climate change.” Enabling statute names specific functions for resilience centers, including: hydration stations, cooling centers, clean air centers, respite centers, and community evacuation and emergency response centers. SB 155 also specifies the following conditions: funding physical infrastructure elements critical to emergency response facilities during climate or other disasters; funding to build long-term resilience; and funding CRCs for integrated delivery of services. The enabling legislation also states that CRCs should be led by partnerships of various organization types, such as Tribal governments, academia, nonprofits, local government, or small businesses. Finally, SB 155 requires SGC to ensure community-based organizations (CBOs) and local residents participate in project governance and decision-making; and for SGC to conduct a public process for guidelines development to allow for transparency and stakeholder feedback.
Item 25.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
SGC’s CRC program will fund planning, development, construction, and upgrades of neighborhood-level Community Resilience Centers to provide shelter and resources during climate and other emergencies, such as extreme heat events and poor air quality days. The program will also fund ongoing year-round community services and programs, such as food distribution and workforce development training, that build overall community resilience. SGC will prioritize community-serving locations across the state, such as schools, libraries, community centers, health clinics, and places of worship. SGC’s CRC program will fund planning, pre-development, and implementation activities. A total of $84 million will be available for CRC Implementation Grants, each ranging from $1 million to $10 million. Implementation Grants will fund new construction and upgrades of facilities to serve as Community Resilience Centers, as well as services and programs that build
overall community resilience.
The City of Coachella is proposing to submit a CRC Implementation Grant application in the amount of $10 million to retrofit the Hidden Harvest building as the city’s Community Resilience Center. The City’s implementation grant application will request funds in the amount of approximately $8 million for physical infrastructure improvements that will include retrofits and new construction of facilities such as bike lanes, pedestrian paths, a roof-top solar photovoltaic system including battery back-up, shade structures, a barn and tool storage, ADA accessibility, structural system upgrades and other improvements that will help convert the facility into a Community Resilience Center with the capacity to be an emergency shelter, too.
The City’s application will also request funding in the amount of approximately $2 million to provide social infrastructure elements that include integrated delivery of services and programs to share knowledge, build networks, and strengthen capacity. The CRC will be infused with a myriad of community resilience services, programs and activities. Partners will include: GRID Alternatives Inland Empire, the Riverside County SBDC, Hidden Harvest, Arteco, Emergency Management Services, TODEC, Sarvadoya Institute, The LEAP Institute, UC San Diego Office of Innovation and Commercialization, UC Riverside, the Latino Commission, Riverside University Health, the Urban Youth Conservation Corps, and RAICES Cultura. The City’s application culminated in robust community engagement and strong collaborative stakeholder structure to ensure community-based organizations (CBOs) and local residents are meaningfully and consistently included in governance and decision-making for awarded Community Resilience Centers.
FISCAL IMPACT
Grants will be executed between SGC and the City of Coachella, who is the Lead Applicant only.
SGC will not enter into any contractual relationship with any Co-Applicants or subcontractors.
Once the grant has been executed, the Lead Applicant will be referred to as the “Grantee” and CoApplicants will be referred to as “Partners.” SGC may provide advance payments to qualifying awards to ensure effective implementation of the program. Advance payments can be up to 25% of the total grant award, spread across a series of installments between the start date identified in the grant agreement until June 30, 2025. The complete schedule, process, and reporting
Item 25.
requirements for advance pay will be determined in the Grant Agreement.
Per CRC Program’s specific advance pay authority, advance payment will be limited to the service portions of awards when the Grantee is a community-based private non-profit agency, which includes but may not be limited to, community-based organizations and non- governmental organizations. Government entities, including Cities are not eligible for advance payment. All Grantees eligible for advance payment will be required to prioritize Partners that experience low cash reserves to receive advances.
SGC will retain the last 5% the overall grant budget, to be paid once the State has determined that the grant terms have been fulfilled. For reimbursement payments, Partners must invoice the Grantee before the Grantee submits an invoice to SGC. The Grantee will be responsible for compiling all invoices, supporting documentation, and reporting materials for themselves and the Partners into a single package. Once the package has been approved for payment, funds will be disbursed to the Grantee.

SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND
Recent and ongoing climate events and public health emergencies impact every part of California and highlight resilience opportunities for planning, preparation, and adaptation. Such impacts encompass shorter-term events like earthquakes, extreme heat, floods, mudslides, power outages and disruptions, storms, and wildfires, in addition to longer-term events like the COVID-19 pandemic, drought, rising temperatures, and sea level rise. Best available climate science projections anticipate that these climate impacts will worsen, expand, extend, and compound. In the face of these challenges, building and strengthening resilience requires investments in both physical and social infrastructure. In addition to climate resilience activities, community resilience builds ongoing social cohesion, trust, and networks.
Due to historic redlining and cycles of underinvestment, communities across California face unequal access to local resilience opportunities including: clean energy and water infrastructure, emergency response services, and public health resources. Given California’s range of geographies, biomes, diverse populations and needs, and existing infrastructure and investments, resilience will look different across the state. Robust, meaningful, culturally appropriate community engagement therefore must ensure local community priorities materialize into community-driven projects at every phase.1 Community resilience centers build upon these key concepts to strengthen community resilience in neighborhoods across California.
As a Cabinet-level interagency organization housed within the California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research, the California Strategic Growth Council (SGC) advances the State’s key policy priorities through four (4) main categories: investment programs, collaborative policy initiatives, integrated policy and planning, and capacity building and technical assistance. The newest of SGC’s investment programs is the Community Resilience Centers (CRC) Program, which builds upon SGC’s foundation and key community partnerships, in alignment with California Climate Adaptation Strategy2, Extreme Heat Action Plan3, and other statewide efforts, to build local resilience across California communities. 1 Urban Sustainability Directors Network (USDN). 2018.

1.2 BUDGET AND LEGISLATIVE SUMMARY
The historic 2021-2022 State of California Climate Budget Package, which totaled over $15 billion to tackle wildfire and drought challenges, build more resilient communities, promote sustainable agriculture, and advance a nation-leading climate agenda, also allocated $100 million to SGC over two (2) rounds for a new Community Resilience Centers (CRC) program.
Senate Bill (SB) 155 (Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review, Chapter 258, Statutes of 2021) created SGC’s CRC program with “funding…for the construction or retrofit of facilities to serve as community resilience centers that mitigate the public health impacts of extreme heat and other emergency situations exacerbated by climate change.”4 Enabling statute names specific functions for resilience centers, including: hydration stations, cooling centers, clean air centers, respite centers, and community evacuation and emergency response centers. SB 155 also specifies the following conditions: funding physical infrastructure elements critical to emergency response facilities during climate or other disasters; funding to build long-term resilience; and funding CRCs for integrated delivery of services. The enabling legislation also states that CRCs should be led by partnerships of various organization types, such as Tribal governments, academia, nonprofits, local government, or small businesses. Finally, SB 155 requires SGC to ensure community-based organizations (CBOs) and local residents participate in project governance and decision-making; and for SGC to conduct a public process for guidelines development to allow for transparency and stakeholder feedback.
With the signing of Assembly Bill (AB) 179 (Ting, Chapter 249, Statutes of 2022), the Budget Act of 2022, SGC’s CRC program received additional funds as part of a $315 million General Fund package implementing California’s Extreme Heat Action Plan. This package bolstered CRC Round 1 funding from $25 million to $110 million, an $85 million increase; this package also bolstered CRC Round 2 funding from $75 million to $160 million, an additional $85 million increase.5 In total, SGC’s CRC program has $270 million allocated, including funds for program administration and staffing, technical assistance, and monitoring and evaluation. Governor Newsom’s proposed budget released January 10, 2023, proposed a partial delay of future CRC program funds, potentially creating an additional funding round; this does not impact CRC Round 1 available program funds.
The 2022-2023 Budget Change Proposal (BCP) “Addressing Extreme Heat” that informed this additional allocation of funds notes: “SGC funds will also support programs associated with building community level social infrastructure that could support better functioning resilience 4 SB 155 (Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review, Chapter 258, Statutes of 2021). <https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220SB155> 5 California Department of Finance. 2022.

centers.”6 The BCP commits to funding “provision of services and programming that build the community infrastructure necessary to respond quickly and effectively in times of crisis” and provides a range of examples spanning food and resource distribution, information-sharing, and workforce development trainings and opportunities. The BCP also commits SGC to: considering community-serving locations, prioritizing disadvantaged and low-income communities in both urban and rural areas, providing technical assistance for those priority communities, and providing both planning and implementation grants.
Most recently, the signing of AB 211 (Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review, Chapter 574, Statutes 2022), a public resources trailer bill, codified language for the CRC program and authorized the new program to provide advanced payment.7 AB 211 directs the CRC program to ensure Applicants demonstrate collaboration with community members; involvement with CBOs and residents in governance and decision-making; multi-stakeholder partnerships; and accessible CRCs providing eligible services and amenities year-round to community residents.
AB 211 also directs CRC staff to include the following in selecting CRC Projects: prioritization of projects in and benefitting under-resourced communities; representation of statewide geographic diversity; and minimum number of years community resilience services must be provided. AB 211 provides detail on reporting requirements to the Legislature and authorizes SGC to provide advance payment to specific entities for the CRC program.
1.3 PROGRAM SUMMARY
SGC’s CRC program will fund planning, development, construction, and upgrades of neighborhood-level Community Resilience Centers to provide shelter and resources during climate and other emergencies, such as extreme heat events and poor air quality days. The program will also fund ongoing year-round community services and programs, such as food distribution and workforce development training, that build overall community resilience. SGC will prioritize community-serving locations across the state, such as schools, libraries, community centers, health clinics, and places of worship. SGC’s CRC program will fund planning, pre-development, and implementation activities.
SGC received a $110 million General Fund appropriation in Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-2023 to implement the program through the provision of grants, staff support, and third-party technical assistance. Of the total funds, $98.6 million will be available for Round 1 grants. 6 California Department of Finance. 2022.

Planning Grants
A total of $5 million will be available for CRC Planning Grants, each ranging from $100,000 to $500,000. Planning Grants will fund communities in initial stages of CRC Project development that need funds for plan development, community engagement, coordination, and other activities necessary to prepare for CRC Rounds 2 and 3 and other related funding streams.
Project Development Grants
A total of $9.6 million will be available for CRC Project Development Grants, each ranging from $500,000 to $5 million. Project Development Grants will fund pre-development and basic infrastructure activities that advance community-serving facilities’ capability to serve as a future Community Resilience Center and prepare grantees for CRC Rounds 2 and 3, and other related funding opportunities. CRC Project Development Grants will prioritize Applicants from Disadvantaged Unincorporated Communities, Tribal Communities, and Rural Communities.
Implementation Grants
A total of $84 million will be available for CRC Implementation Grants, each ranging from $1 million to $10 million. Implementation Grants will fund new construction and upgrades of facilities to serve as Community Resilience Centers, as well as services and programs that build overall community resilience.
SGC retains the right to make partial awards and to reallocate funds between CRC Round 1 Grant types in the event of undersubscription and/or ineligibility. (See Section 3: Planning Grants; Section 4: Project Development Grants; and Section 5:
Implementation Grants.)
1.4 PROGRAM VISION
Vision for Racial Equity
SGC is committed to achieving racial equity in its operations, investments, and policy initiatives and to achieving its vision that: All people in California live in healthy, thriving, and resilient communities regardless of race.8
1.5 PROGRAM APPROACH
SGC’s Community Resilience Centers (CRC) program intends to build both climate resilience and community resilience across California.
For the purpose of the CRC program, these terms are so defined:

Item 25.
Community Resilience Centers Program – Round 1 Final Guidelines April 26, 2023 Page | 6
Climate resilience is the capacity of any entity – an individual, a community, an organization, or a natural system – to prepare for disruptions, recover from shocks and stresses, and adapt and grow from a disruptive experience. For the CRC program, climate resilience is strengthened locally through specific strategies, activities, and capacity to prepare for climate impacts including drought, extreme temperatures, floods, sea level rise, and wildfires.
Community resilience is the ability of communities to withstand, recover, and learn from adverse events (climate or otherwise) to strengthen future response and recovery efforts. Strengthening community resilience requires a broad approach and considers public health; social and economic equity and well-being of communities; connection and coordination across organizations involved in disasters preparedness, response, and recovery; and development of social cohesion and community trust. Activities that build community resilience will in turn increase resilience to climate-related impacts.
The program will fund physical infrastructure, including retrofits and new construction of facilities and accompanying campus amenities, as well as social infrastructure, including integrated delivery of services and programs to share knowledge, build networks, and strengthen capacity. The CRC program will invest in accessible community-serving facilities, expect community engagement throughout all phases, and require collaborative stakeholder structures to ensure community-based organizations (CBOs) and local residents are meaningfully and consistently included in governance and decision-making for awarded Community Resilience Centers.
CRC Projects should balance shorter-term needs and longer-term needs, equip CRC Facilities with emergency activation capabilities and plans, and include year-round delivery of services and programs that build community resilience. CRCs should also prioritize the local priority populations and most vulnerable residents and communities in their decision-making, design, and implementation. SGC intends to fund a mix of CRC Projects that span a range of: climate impacts; facility types and Lead Applicants; and geographies, including rural and urban communities, as well as incorporated and unincorporated communities.
Residents and communities defined as “vulnerable” experience heightened risk and increased sensitivity to climate change and have less capacity and fewer resources to cope with, adapt to, or recover from climate impacts. These disproportionate effects are caused by physical, social, political, and/or economic factor(s), which are exacerbated by climate impacts. Many of these challenges result from a history of inequitable land use and zoning policies, underinvestment, and lack of meaningful engagement with community residents in planning and policy decisions.
SGC recognizes that the term “vulnerable” overlooks the many assets these communities and residents possess. The CRC Program is structured to provide existing residents, businesses, and
Item 25.

communities with the tools and resources to drive change and to ensure they can also experience the benefits of this investment.

SECTION 2: PROGRAM OVERVIEW
2.1 ALL GRANT TYPES
SGC’s CRC program will fund planning, development, construction, and upgrades of neighborhood-level Community Resilience Centers to provide shelter and resources during climate and other emergencies. The program will also fund ongoing year-round community services and programs that build overall community resilience. SGC’s CRC program will fund planning, pre-development, and implementation activities through the following grant opportunities.
Planning Grants
CRC Planning Grants will fund planning activities to prepare communities for future funding opportunities in programs that align with CRC Program Objectives, with a specific focus on preparation for CRC Rounds 2 and 3 Implementation Grants. (See Section 3: Planning Grants) Project Development Grants
CRC Project Development Grants will fund pre-development and basic infrastructure activities that advance community-serving facilities’ capability to serve as a future Community Resilience Center and prepare grantees for CRC Rounds 2 and 3 funding opportunities and other related funding streams. (See Section 4: Project Development Grants) Implementation Grants
CRC Implementation Grants will fund new construction and upgrades of facilities to serve as Community Resilience Centers, as well as services and programs that build overall community resilience. (See Section 5: Implementation Grants)
2.2 CORE COMPONENTS
While a statewide program, the CRC program invests in neighborhood-scale projects across California. Therefore, each Project must reflect priorities, needs, assets, and approaches from that local community. Specific features, methods, priorities, activities and costs, and partnerships will vary depending on a specific neighborhood.
The CRC model is intentionally flexible to account for the vast spectrum of communities across California. Core components, however, include the following:
• Multi-stakeholder partnerships
Item 25.
Community Resilience Centers Program – Round 1 Final Guidelines April 26, 2023 Page | 9
• Robust, meaningful, and culturally appropriate community engagement throughout all phases (design, application, implementation, and evaluation) • Physical infrastructure investments to the CRC Facility (new construction and/or retrofits)
• CRC Campus Amenities, like transportation to the CRC and community gardens • Social infrastructure investments in services and programs, to ensure ongoing yearround usage of the CRC and strengthening of local community resilience Equipped with these core components, community resilience centers will empower communities, respond to climate emergencies, and provide year-round services and programs to enhance both climate resilience and community resilience.
2.3 PRIORITY COMMUNITIES AND PRIORITY
POPULATIONS
Consistent with existing State guidance and robust stakeholder input, all communities are eligible to apply for CRC program funds.
Note: CRC Project Development Grants deliberately prioritize Tribal, rural, and disadvantaged unincorporated communities given the specific histories of disinvestment, infrastructure redlining, and capacity challenges.
Statewide Scale: Priority Communities
Per statute, at the statewide-scale, SGC must prioritize CRC Projects located in and benefitting priority communities. Priority communities for the CRC program Round 1 include underresourced communities9, which include the following:
• Census tracts identified as ‘disadvantaged’ by the California Environmental Protection Agency via the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment’s CalEnviroScreen tool. For CRC Round 1, this includes any census tracts designated as disadvantaged in CalEnviroScreen 4.0 (2021 update)10; OR
• Census tracts with median household incomes at or below 80% of the statewide median income or with median household incomes at or below the threshold designated as low income by the Department of Housing and Community Development's list of state income limits adopted pursuant to Section 50093 of the California Health and Safety Code; OR
9 “Under-resourced community” means a community identified pursuant to Section 39711 of the Health and Safety Code, subdivision (d) of Section 39713 of the Health and Safety Code, or subdivision (g) of Section 75005. 10California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA). 2022. CalEnviroScreen4.0. <https://oehha.ca.gov/calenviroscreen/report/calenviroscreen-40.>
Item 25.
Community Resilience Centers Program – Round 1 Final Guidelines April 26, 2023 Page | 10
• Census tracts with a median household income less than 80% of the statewide average The CRC program has identified the following additional priority communities for Round 1:
• Tribal Lands11 that meet the definition of an under-resourced community • Rural communities12 that meet the definition of an under-resourced community • Unincorporated communities that meet the definition of an under-resourced community
CRC program staff additionally commit to targeted outreach to these priority communities and will prioritize Proposals from priority communities for Application Technical Assistance, as these communities typically face more barriers to access and less capacity to apply for competitive State grant programs.
Neighborhood Scale: Priority Populations
Each CRC proposal, regardless of priority community status or geography, must focus on neighborhood-level information as CRC investments are neighborhood-scale investments in local communities.
In alignment with the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) and other State agencies, the CRC program has identified the following priority populations:
• Individuals with physical, developmental, or intellectual disabilities • Individuals with chronic conditions or injuries
• Individuals with limited English proficiency
• Older adults, children, and pregnant people
• Low-income, homeless, and/or transportation-disadvantaged or public transitdependent people Note: These priority populations were previously described as Access and Functional Needs (AFN) communities by Cal OES.13
Each CRC proposal must identify, work with, and intentionally serve the needs of priority populations in the proposed neighborhood containing the CRC facility. Attention to priority populations intentionally appears in multiple parts of the CRC program design. These sections 11 ‘Tribal lands’ has the same meaning as the term ‘Indian country’ in United States Code of Federal Regulations, title 18, section 1151, that states: “(a) all land within the limits of any Indian reservation under the jurisdiction of the United States Government, notwithstanding the issuance of any patent, and, including rights-of-way running through the reservation, (b) all dependent Indian communities within the borders of the United States whether within the original or subsequently acquired territory thereof, and whether within or without the limits of a state, and (c) all Indian allotments, the Indian titles to which have not been extinguished, including rights-of-way running through the same.”

include the Collaborative Stakeholder Structure; Capital Projects, Campus Amenities, and Services and Programs; Emergency Plan and Year-Round Community Resilience Plan; and Evaluation. Staff will evaluate the extent to which each proposal meaningfully incorporates and benefits priority populations in their local communities14; for further detail, please see Section
9.4: Scoring Criteria.
2.4 FUNDING TARGETS
Geographic Diversity Funding Target
SGC intends to fund CRC Planning, Project Development, and Implementation Grant awards that build climate resilience and community resilience while representing statewide geographic diversity, inclusive of rural and urban communities, incorporated and unincorporated areas, and a range of climate impacts. Statewide geographic diversity across rural and urban communities, incorporated and unincorporated communities is specifically required of the CRC program per statute.
15 To illustrate this commitment to statewide geographic diversity, the CRC program commits to awarding at least one CRC grant (any grant type) to each of the Cal OES Fire and Rescue Mutual Aid Regions. (See Appendix F: Cal OES Fire and Rescue Mutual Aid Regions) Tribal Funding Target
The CRC program intends to fund a minimum of five (5) qualifying Proposals where the Lead Applicant is a California Native American Tribe16, an eligible entity having co-ownership with a California Native American Tribe, or an eligible entity established by a California Native American Tribe to undertake climate resilience projects. The funding target includes CRC Planning, Project Development, and Implementation grants. This funding target is intended to prioritize a portion of CRC funding for California Native American Tribes, similar to a Tribal setaside.
Unless stated otherwise, the Project must meet all CRC grant application requirements. If multiple California Native American Tribes apply for Projects, the Council will apply the scoring criteria from these Guidelines to rank the Projects such that the five (5) top-ranked Projects will be awarded under the Council’s Tribal funding target and the remaining Project(s) will compete 14 California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services. 2020.

SECTION 3: PLANNING GRANTS
CRC Planning Grants fund planning activities to prepare communities for future funding opportunities in programs that align with CRC Program Objectives, with a specific focus on preparation for CRC Rounds 2 and 3 Implementation Grants. CRC Planning Grant activities, therefore, should focus on developing a proposal for a future CRC Implementation Grant or similar funding opportunity, and must demonstrate effective, robust local community engagement and planning efforts.
3.1 CRC PLANNING GRANT PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
CRC Planning Grants will support planning activities to prepare communities to implement Community Resilience Centers, as well as for similar funding opportunities that align with the CRC Program’s objectives. Planning activities should focus on engaging key stakeholders and supporting project readiness, as well as broader community resilience to climate emergencies and intersecting social and economic issues. Proposed planning activities will:
• Advance the local community’s ability to identify, vision, design, construct, resource, and activate sites as community resilience centers.
• Ensure or increase accessibility of CRCs to community members, especially during and after emergencies. These activities can include, but are not limited to: AB 2645 planning and implementation; targeted, culturally, and linguistically appropriate outreach and planning for priority populations, mobile units and services; and community-led development of networks and plans for evacuation, transportation, mass sheltering and mass feeding.
• Build, strengthen, and sustain local community resilience, in connection with a proposed CRC. These activities can include: advancing local workforce development and training opportunities for a future net zero carbon economy, supporting local leadership and grassroots engagement in civic and community development, and climate resilience awareness and activities.
