Staff Report
Preliminary Budget
13 DATE: May 21, 2025
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: James W Ramsey, CPA Finance Director (Contract)

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT: Preliminary Budget – FY 2025/26
RECOMMENDATION: Provide direction and input
FISCAL IMPACTS: None
Background
Prior to the July 1 start of each new fiscal year, management brings forth the preliminary budget to the City Council for input and consideration. The adoption of the annual budget is one of the key statutory responsibilities of the Mayor and City Council. A 2nd draft of the budget will be provided to the City Council on June 4th, with final adoption scheduled for June 18th.

The preliminary budget as of May 21, 2025 is contained herein. The preliminary budget was first compiled by the Contract Finance Director, and staff met on May 15th, along with Vice Mayor Pamma to go over the details of the budget. The attached preliminary budget contains all of the budgeted funds of the City, including the General Fund, special revenue funds, and the Water and Sewer Enterprise Funds.

Analysis
Key highlights of management’s discussions include:

1. Eliminating any non-necessary expenditures, such as travel;

2. Reducing certain categories of supplies;

3. Identifying opportunities for revenue production; and

4. Reallocation of staffing costs.

Of the changes proposed:

General Fund:
 City Council: removal of travel and professional development for registration and attendance for the League of California Cities annual conference; 14  Administration: updating professional development costs to ensure that all required certifications are maintained; Communications – allocating the costs of Blackboard between Administration and Parks; Removal of travel costs associated with travel to the League of California Cities annual conference.  Finance: increase in contract amount for accounting services and audit services; amounts are allocated among Finance, Water, and Sewer.
 Attorney: increase in costs for attorney overages.
 Nondepartmental: Increase in insurance amounts.
 Fire: increase in County service costs. Additionally, removal of principal and interest on the lease financing as the debt has matured. o Of note, transfers into the Fire Department from the CFD are dropping by $50,000 as this was part of a continuing fund balance from prior years that is being used for the current year.
 Police: costs for County services are expected to remain consistent with the current year as the Sheriff’s office has one vacant position that will take time to fill.
o Transfers into the Police fund include amounts from the CFD, COPS funding, and Traffic Safety.
 Community Development: Reduction in professional services as more plan check services are brought inhouse.
 Facility Maintenance: repairs and maintenance reduced as the number of HVAC units expected to go out have decreased due to current year replacements/repairs.
 Pool: added $200,000 for relining the pool.

Water Fund:
 Revenues: increased assuming the water rate passes
 Professional services: public works consultant and accounting services.  Special Department expense: One (1) time arsenic removal  Capital outlay: Tied to the capital requirements outlined in the water rate study.

Sewer Fund:
 Repairs and maintenance: increase costs related to the treatment plant and lift station.
 Utilities are expected to go up based on rate increases. This will eventually be offset by the Solar project.
 Capital Outlay: Solar power project. City’s expected portion is $560,000.

Overall, the City’s budget situation is dire. The City has a structural deficit in the General Fund. Revenues are not sufficient to cover the costs of the general fund.

The City’s expenditure profile is heavier on services and supplies, as follows:

Title: Formally Announcing the Mayor and City Council's Selection for City Manager and Approval of the City Manager's Employment Agreement for a Term of Three Years and Approval of Resolution Appointing City Manager Contact Information: Nicole Rosser, City Attorney
Analysis: The former City Manager, Aaron Palmer, and City of Live Oak entered into a Separation Agreement effective March 8, 2024. Following Mr. Palmer's departure, the City of Live Oak has had Interim City Managers while the City Council performed a thorough search for a full-time City Manager.

The City Manager recruitment garnered a total of 14 applications. On April 24, 2025, the Mayor and City Council held a closed session and interviewed 5 candidates. After deliberation, the City Council agreed to reinterview 2 candidates on April 30, 2025. The City Council thereafter made their decision and began negotiating with the selected candidate, Benjamin Moody.

The City Council will discuss and consider for potential Council action, a decision to appoint Benjamin Moody as the City Manager for the City of Live Oak, subject to the execution of an Employment Agreement and approval of the attached related Resolution.

The Employment Agreement provides, among other material terms and subject to certain terms and conditions, that Benjamin Moody will receive compensation in a total amount of $210,000.00/year, including a stipend for certifications for being a Professional Engineer and Professional Land Surveyor, that Benjamin Moody will receive employee benefits as explained further in the Employment Agreement, and that Benjamin Moody will commence work for the City on June 9, 2025.

Fiscal Impacts: Benjamin Moody and the City of Live Oak have negotiated a salary of $210,000.00/year (which includes an annual stipend for certification for Professional Engineer and Professional Land Surveyor). The remainder of the benefits and additional details are set forth in the Employment Agreement. 93 Recommendation: Adopt a motion: 1) Formally Announcing the Mayor and City Council's selection for City Manager and approving the City Manager's Employment Agreement; 2) Authorizing the Mayor to sign the City Manager's Employment Agreement on behalf of the City; and 3) Approving a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Live Oak Appointing Benjamin Moody to the Position of City Manager and approving an Employment Agreement in connection with said appointment.

Title: Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) Grant Application Location: Larkin Grove Apartments and Citywide Transportation Upgrades Recommendation: Authorize the submission of the AHSC grant application in partnership with Yuba-Sutter Transit and Pacific West Communities
Fiscal Impacts: None, no local match required or proposed.

Contact Information: Laura Stewart, Associate Planner
Background:

Staff is requesting City Council authorization to submit the AHSC Grant application in partnership with Yuba-Sutter Transit and Pacific West communities. The application package includes the attached Letter of Support and Cooperative Agreement, requiring the Mayor’s signature. No local matching funds are required or proposed, therefore a resolution is not required at this time.

Should the application be successful and grant funding is rewarded, Staff will return to Council with a request to a adopt a Resolution to act on the grant reward.

Staff has been working collectively with AMG/Pacific West Communities (developer of Kristen Court Apartments) and Yuba-Sutter Transit, to put together a joint application for AHSC grant funding for the development of a new affordable housing apartment community, improvements to Yuba Sutter Transit operations, and the construction of new sidewalks, bike lanes, and a multi-use trail in Live Oak. Partnering with the affordable housing developer and Yuba Sutter Transit, significantly strengthens the application, making it more competitive.

About the AHSC Program:

The Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) grant program is administered by the Strategic Growth Council and implemented by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The program is a component of California Climate Investments, which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, strengthen the economy, and improve public health and the environment, especially in disadvantaged communities. California Climate 111
Council Agenda Report- May 21, 2025
Investments include affordable housing, renewable energy, public transportation, zero-emission vehicles, environmental restoration, sustainable agriculture, and recycling.

Affordable Housing Project Overview:

Pacific West Communities proposes the construction of Larkin Grove Apartments, a 60-unit apartment community located at 9066 Larkin Road (APN 06-470-038), located south of Apricot Street, just north of the southern city boundary, and directly east of the Kristen Court Apartments.

The complex will be accessed via Larkin Road only and will not connect directly to Kristen Court apartments or the Peachtree subdivision.

The proposed development includes:
• Four three-story residential buildings on approximately 3.5 acres • 36 two-bedroom and 24 three-bedroom units
• Targeting families earning up to 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI) for Sutter County • On site amenities include a playground, half basketball court, fenced dog area, and a shaded picnic area with tables and barbeques
• A 3200 square foot one-story community building featuring office space, a computer room, laundry facilities, an exercise room, and a community room with a common kitchen • 112 parking stalls and secure bicycle parking
• An on-site resident manager housed in a three-bedroom unit All units include a patio or balcony with storage space. The stucco exteriors, tile shingle roofs, and architectural accents are designed to blend in with the character of the surrounding community.

The project site is located within the R-4, Multiple Family Residential, Zoning District, in which a multi-family apartment complex of it’s size is permitted outright with verified compliance with the development standards. Planning staff has completed the required Design Review and confirmed the proposal complies with all applicable zoning and development standards.

Proposed AHSC Grant Allocations:
• $12 million to Pacific West Communities to construct the affordable housing development • $1.5 million to Yuba-Sutter Transit to enhance operations • $4.5 million to the City of Live Oak to construct:
o 2 miles of new Class II bike lanes
o 6,000 linear feet of new and gap closure sidewalks
o 0.8 miles of Class I multi-use Bicycle and Pedestrian trail, extending the existing trail The proposed multi-use trail will be built over an existing Reclamation District open drainage ditch, which will first be enclosed with underground piping. The high cost of enclosing the ditch prevented development of the approved Silver Oaks Subdivision. This grant will fund the enclosure, removing a major barrier and encouraging the stalled development to move forward. 112
Council Agenda Report- May 21, 2025
Pacific West Communities has a proven track record of successfully securing AHSC funding for similar projects, including the completed Coalinga Pacific Apartments and the Smith Avenue Apartments currently under construction in Lemoore, CA.

The attached Cooperative Agreement was reviewed and approved by City Attorney Nicole Rosser on Monday, May 12, 2025.

Next Steps:
• The completed AHSC grant application is due to HCD by May 28, 2025 • Grant award announcements are expected in December 2025.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the Mayor to sign the Letter of Support and Cooperative Agreement, and approve the submission of the AHSC grant application to the Department of Housing and Community Development.

The AHSC Program is an important part of California’s
climate and equity strategy by funding affordable
housing and transportation projects near jobs, schools, and other daily destinations. Personal vehicle use is,
by far, the most significant source of greenhouse gas
emissions in California and AHSC projects help reduce
these emissions by funding projects that make it easier for residents to get out of their cars and walk, bike, or take public transit. Funded by auction proceeds from
California’s Cap-and-Trade emissions reduction
program, AHSC is administered by the Strategic
Growth Council and implemented by the California
Department of Housing and Community Development.

Affordable Housing and
Sustainable Communities
Integrating affordable homes and sustainable transportation The AHSC Program funds
affordable housing and
transportation projects close
to jobs, schools, and other
daily destinations to help
California meet both its
climate and equity goals.

Applications determined to be infeasible will not be recommended for award and this decision shall be final, binding, and conclusive, and shall constitute the final action of the Department.

E. Disclosure of Application
Information provided in the application will become a public record available for review by the public, pursuant to the California Public Records Act (PRA) (Gov. Code § 7920.000 et seq.). As such, any materials provided are subject to disclosure to any person making a request under the PRA. The Department cautions Applicants to use discretion in providing information not specifically requested, including but not limited to, bank account numbers, social security numbers, personal phone numbers, and home addresses. By providing this information to the Department, the Applicant is waiving any claim of confidentiality and consents to the disclosure of submitted material upon request.

F. Concurrent Applications

1. The Department will allow Applicants under this NOFA to pursue more than one funding scenario. This means that a separate, concurrent application to other Department program funding sources is permitted. All applications under review and anticipated applications must be disclosed in the AHSC Program Application Workbook. In instances where such Applicants are competitive for an award, the Department will consult with Applicants to discern which funding scenarios are optimal for Project feasibility while balancing cost containment.

2. At the Department’s discretion, AHSC awards may be reduced commensurately with any amounts awarded under another Department NOFA made prior to the AHSC award.
131
California Department of Housing and Community Development 10 AHSC Round 9 NOFA

G. Modifying Tax Credit Applications

1. Submission of two concurrent AHSC Program applications proposing 4 percent and 9 percent tax credit is prohibited. Submitting an AHSC Program application proposing 4 percent tax credits to the Department and submitting a concurrent 9 percent California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC) application is prohibited without prior approval from the Department.

2. If converting from a 4 percent to 9 percent Project after receiving an AHSC Program award, the award will be resized, and the award letter reissued to reflect the reduced award amount using the unit mix as originally submitted in the application. Please note that the 24-month disencumbrance deadline (pursuant to the Department’s Disencumbrance Policy), will continue to be tied to the date of the original award letter. The Developer must demonstrate that any resulting gap from the resizing of the loan has been covered through an alternative funding source.

3. If converting from a 9 percent to a 4 percent Project, the award will not be increased but may be reduced if the Recipient identifies additional funding.

4. The Department will only allow a switch between 4 percent and 9 percent one time per Project. The Department must be notified and, if required, an amended award letter be issued in advance of application submittal to CDLAC or TCAC. Recipients who do not request an amended Department award letter prior to submitting an application to switch tax credit scenarios will be subject to Negative Points.

5. No final determination can be made on whether a specific Project may swap from 4 percent to 9 percent, or vice-versa, until updated application materials indicating changes to the Project’s budget have been submitted, reviewed, and approved by AHSC Program staff.

H. Prior Awards

1. Applicants must disclose all awards of loans and grants for the Project listed in the application at the time of application submittal. Applicants seeking to substitute previously awarded Department funds, including but not limited to substitutions to increase the amount of an award, must first withdraw their previous award in writing and provide reasonable justification that the substitution is necessary to ensure Project feasibility. A consultation with Department Program staff is required at the time of the withdrawal. Substitutions based solely upon Applicant preference or convenience will not be permitted.

2. The Department will restrict units to the lowest targeting across all awarded funds and will require proposals awarded from a program with prioritized target populations to maintain the special population units (increasing target population and/or Restricted Units is permitted). However, for applications proposing a reduction to AMI levels on the unit mix, the Applicant/Recipient must engage with Program staff relative to the prior award and confirm the change does not impact feasibility and would not cause a reduction in awarded funds pursuant to that program’s requirements. This consultation process must begin no later than 30 days after the publication of this NOFA.
132
California Department of Housing and Community Development 11 AHSC Round 9 NOFA

I. Significant Changes in Project After Application
The Department will make award determinations based on information provided in the application. If, after award, there is a significant departure from the application, the Department may re-evaluate the proposal status, reduce the loan or grant amount, and/or assign Negative Points to the Applicant.

IV. Appeals
A. Basis of Appeals

1. Applicants may appeal the Department’s written determination that an application is incomplete, has failed threshold review, or has otherwise been determined to provide an insufficient basis for an award (including point scoring). Submission of additional documents, including as part of an appeal for an application disqualification, shall include evidence demonstrating either the document existed as of the application due date, or the document certifies to a condition existing at the time of the application due date identified in this NOFA.

2. At the sole discretion of the Department, the Department’s written determination may include a request for clarifying and/or corrective information. For purposes of this section, “clarifying information” includes information and/or documentation that resolves ambiguities in any application materials that will inform the Department’s threshold, scoring and feasibility determinations.

3. No Applicant shall have the right to appeal a decision of the Department relating to another Applicant’s application (e.g., eligibility, award).

Article I. Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities General Overview
Section 100. Purpose and Scope
The purpose of these Program Guidelines is to implement Division 44, Part 1 Chapter 2 of the California Public Resources Code (PRC) (commencing with Section 75200), which establishes the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) Program, hereinafter referred to as the AHSC Program.

Per the California Public Resources Code, the purpose of the AHSC Program is to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through Projects that implement land use, housing, transportation, and Agricultural Land preservation practices to support infill and compact development, and that support related and coordinated public policy objectives, including the following:
• Reducing air pollution;
• Improving conditions in Disadvantaged Communities (DACs); • Supporting or improving public health and other co-benefits as defined in Section 39712 of the Health and Safety Code;
• Improving connectivity and accessibility to jobs, housing, and services; • Increasing options for mobility, including the implementation of the Active Transportation Program established pursuant to Section 2380 of the Streets and Highway Code;
• Increasing transit ridership;
• Preserving and developing affordable housing for lower income households, as defined in Section 50079.5 of the Health and Safety Code; and • Protecting Agricultural Lands to support infill development.

These Program Guidelines will serve as the primary document related to eligibility, scoring, and the application process for Round 9 of the AHSC Program. Unless stated in this document, previous versions of AHSC Program Guidelines, attachments, Quantification Methodologies, Question and Answer (Q&A) documents, or personal communications with staff from previous rounds are superseded by this document and no longer in effect for Projects applying to Round 9.

If any provision of these Guidelines is found to be unlawful, unenforceable, or invalid in whole or in part for any reason, such provisions will be severed without affecting any other provision of this document. The validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions, or portions of those provisions, will not be affected.

Individuals who seek clarity on portions of these Guidelines after Council’s adoption, may pose questions and see publicly-available answers on the Round 9 Materials page of the California Strategic Growth Council (SGC) Website:
https://sgc.ca.gov/programs/ahsc/resources/guidelines.html. 139

The AHSC Program is part of California Climate Investments, a statewide initiative that puts billions of Cap-and-Trade dollars to work reducing greenhouse gas emissions, strengthening the economy, and improving public health and the environment — particularly in Disadvantaged Communities (DACs). The AHSC Program furthers the purposes of AB 32 (Chapter 488, Statutes of 2006), SB 375 (Chapter 728, Statutes of 2008), and SB 32 (Chapter 249, Statutes of 2016) by investing in Projects that facilitate GHG Reduction by supporting more compact, infill development patterns, encouraging Active Transportation and transit usage, and protecting Agricultural Land from sprawl development.

Program Administration, Implementation, and Coordination The AHSC Program is administered by the California Strategic Growth Council (Council or SGC). The Department of Housing and Community Development (Department) will implement the transportation, housing, and infrastructure components of the AHSC Program. The Council staff will coordinate efforts with Department staff, working with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the Council to administer the broader AHSC Program, including developing Program Guidelines, evaluating applications, preparing agreements, monitoring agreement implementation, and AHSC Program reporting.

The Council will coordinate with CARB to develop and incorporate consistent guidance in the following areas, which will apply to all Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) programs, including the AHSC Program:
• Expenditure records to ensure investments further the goals of AB 32. • Investment targets in DACs, Low-Income Communities, and Low-Income Households.
• Consistent methodologies for quantifying GHG Reductions and other economic, environmental, and public health co-benefits.
• Project tracking and reporting.

AHSC Program Scope
The AHSC Program provides grants and/or loans for Projects that achieve GHG Reductions and benefit communities across California, particularly DACs, Low-Income Communities, and Low-Income Households, through increasing accessibility of affordable housing, employment centers, and Key Destinations via low-carbon transportation. These investments result in fewer vehicle miles traveled (VMT) through shortened or reduced vehicle trip length or mode shift to transit, bicycling, or walking.

The AHSC Program supports the Climate-Friendly, Climate-Ready Housing goals as outlined by Governor Gavin Newsom’s letter to CARB dated July 22, 2022. The AHSC Program funds infill Projects that are dense, affordable, and located in transit-rich areas to reduce VMT. AHSC Projects also promote carbon neutrality by requiring all electric design and incentivizing green building techniques, Urban Greening, and purchase of Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEVs).

Three Project Area Types have been identified to implement this strategy: 1) TransitOriented Development (TOD) Project Areas, 2) Integrated Connectivity Project (ICP) Project Areas, or 3) Rural Innovation Project Areas (RIPA). AHSC Program award funds will be allocated through a competitive process, based on the merits of applications within each Project Area Type.

Priority Population Benefits
California Climate Investment (CCI) Programs must target investments to priority populations, per AB 1550, and maximize benefits to DACs, per SB 535 and AB 1532. The investment minimums apply to the overall appropriations from the GGRF, rather than to each agency appropriation. CCI Programs are encouraged to meet minimum levels of investments to Projects that benefit residents of DACs, Low-Income Communities, and Low-Income Households, collectively referred to as “Priority Populations” to help ensure statutory requirements are met. These program targets for Priority Populations are outlined in the 2024 Funding Guidelines for Agencies that Administer California Climate Investments (Funding Guidelines).

To count toward statutory investment minimums, administering agencies must determine if a Project meets the criteria for providing direct, meaningful, and assured benefits to Priority Populations by identifying that a Project is located within an area identified as a DAC or Low-Income Community, or directly benefits residents of a Low-Income Household; that the Project meaningfully addresses an important need; and that the Project directly addresses the identified need. SGC will use the Priority Populations Map to determine the geographic eligibility based upon the location of the Project’s AHSCfunded Affordable Housing Development (AHD) and will use the Priority Population Benefit Assessment Tool to determine if investments have a direct benefit to Priority Populations. The Priority Populations Map is available at:
https://www.caclimateinvestments.ca.gov/priority-populations. Priority Population Benefit Assessment Tool for this AHSC Program will be available at:
https://www.caclimateinvestments.ca.gov/reporting-tools.

Vision for Racial Equity
The Council 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. Read more in the SGC Racial Equity Action Plan.

Article II. Administration of Funds
Section 102. Eligible Projects
(a) The AHSC Program includes three eligible Project Area Types: 1) TransitOriented Development (TOD) Project Areas; 2) Integrated Connectivity Project (ICP) Project Areas, and 3) Rural Innovation Project Areas (RIPA). The frequency of nearby transit is the primary differentiating requirement between TOD and ICP Project Area Types.
(1) RIPAs must be located within a Rural Area, as defined in Section 50199.21 of California Health and Safety Code.
(b) Projects must include the following:
(1) One STI component; and
(2) One Affordable Housing Development (AHD) and/or Housing Related Infrastructure (HRI) component.
(c) Project funds will be primarily utilized in the Project Area, which must:
(1) Be a contiguous circular area measured from any single point inside the parcel of the AHD. The point may be chosen anywhere inside of the AHD site and must be referenced consistently through all application materials, including mapping and calculation of distances.
(A) For Scattered Site Projects, Applicant must identify a single point in any one of the AHD parcels to establish the radius.
(B) A Project Area may not contain more than one AHD Capital Project.

A single AHD Capital Project may not include more than one AHD. (C) For TOD Project Areas and ICP Project Areas, the radius must be no greater than one (1.0) mile.
(D) For RIPAs, the radius must be no greater than two (2.0) miles. (2) Include at least one Transit Station/Stop consistent with the requirements set forth below and be located no farther than one-half (0.50) mile from the AHD along a Pedestrian Access Route. If the Pedestrian Access Route is not clearly identified in the submitted supporting documentation, additional clarification may be requested to substantiate compliance with requirements; (A) TOD Project Areas must include at least one Transit Station/Stop that is served by High Quality Transit at the time of application submittal. TOD Project Areas must not be located in a Rural Area. (B) ICP Project Areas must include at least one Transit Station/Stop that is served by the Qualifying Transit at the time of application submittal.

At the time of application it must not include a Transit Station/Stop that is served by High Quality Transit which is located within one-half (0.50) mile from the AHD along a Pedestrian Access Route. ICP Project Areas must not be located in a Rural Area.
(C) RIPAs must include at least one existing, or planned fixed route, Transit Station/Stop that is or will be served by the Qualifying Transit or High Quality Transit that is located no farther than one-half (0.50) mile from the AHD along a Pedestrian Access Route. (i) If proposing planned transit the Applicant must submit a letter on transit agency letterhead signed by an authorized signatory affirming that the planned Transit Station/Stop will be served by transit service that meets the criteria of Qualifying Transit 144
AHSC Round 9 Program Guidelines – Page 9
February 26, 2025
or High Quality Transit and will be operational by the AHD certificate of occupancy issuance.
(D) For all Project Area Types, if the Pedestrian Access Route is not in place at the time of application, the Applicant must affirm that the Pedestrian Access Route will be in place by the AHD certificate of occupancy issuance. The Sustainable Transportation Improvements (STI) components of the Project can fund this improvement. (3) Include all AHSC-funded Sustainable Transportation Improvements (STI);
(A) STI components (e.g., a bus-only lane, Transit Signal Priority (TSP), a bikeway, or sidewalk) may extend beyond the boundaries of the Project Area, but a pedestrian or cyclist entrance to the facility must be located within the Project Area.
(B) If making an STI improvement to a fixed transit route that includes a portion outside of the Project Area, there must be a Transit Station/Stop on that route within the Project Area at the time of application.
(C) If making STI improvements to an On-Demand Transit Service, there must be a designated pick-up location in the Project Area. (D) If making STI improvements to Carshare or Carpool service, the vehicles must reside at the AHSC funded AHD site.
(d) To be an eligible AHD Capital Project, it must:
(1) Contain five (5) or more Units. A single-family house is considered to be one Unit, and an apartment Unit in an apartment building is considered to be one Unit regardless of the number of bedrooms within the apartment Unit. The AHD Capital Project must consist of one or more of the following:
(A) New Construction
(B) Acquisition and Substantial Rehabilitation (including preservation of affordable housing at-risk of conversion to market rate). The acquisition must be made through a bona fide sale or transfer from the existing ownership entity to the new ownership entity comprised of a completely disparate ownership structure, which contains no common entity interest at any level of the organizational structure.
(i) Substantial Rehabilitation AHDs with existing Department restrictions must comply with loan restructuring requirements pursuant to HSC Sections 50560 through 50562 and current Portfolio Restructuring Guidelines published by the
Department. Restructuring transaction fees are set forth in UMR Section 8317.
(C) Adaptive Reuse of one or more building structures.
(2) Demonstrate that the AHD will not cause the number of existing bedrooms to be reduced:
(A) Proposed AHD involving new construction or Substantial Rehabilitation and requiring the demolition of existing residential units are eligible only if the number of bedrooms in the new AHD is at least equal to the number of bedrooms in the demolished structures, with equal or greater affordability. The new Affordable Units may exist on 145
AHSC Round 9 Program Guidelines – Page 10
February 26, 2025
separate parcels provided all parcels are part of the same AHD meeting the requirements of the UMRs Section 8303 (b).
(B) The Department may approve AHDs involving new construction or Substantial Rehabilitation and requiring the demolition of existing residential units that result in a number of bedrooms less than the number in the demolished structures where it determines that such approvals will substantially improve the livability of the remaining units, or serve some other compelling public policy objective, as long as the reduction does not result in more than 25 percent fewer units upon AHD completion.
(3) Demonstrate that construction or Substantial Rehabilitation of the AHD has not commenced as of the application due date, except for emergency work or structural repairs.
(4) Rental and Homeownership AHDs must include at least 20 percent of the total units as Affordable Units.
(5) Rental AHDs must demonstrate an overall Project average affordability of all Restricted Units within the Project no greater than 50 percent represented by Area Median Income (AMI). Average affordability means the total number of Restricted Units multiplied by each restricted affordability level divided by the total Restricted Units. For example, for a 30-unit Project with 10 units restricted to 40 percent AMI and 10 units restricted to 60 percent AMI the calculation of the average affordability would be as follows:
(A) 10 units @ 40% AMI is 10 x 40 = 400.
(B) 10 units @ 60% AMI is 10 x 60 = 600
(C) 400 + 600 = 1,000; and
(D) 1,000/20 total Restricted Units =average affordability of 50% (6) Homeownership AHDs have no minimum overall Project average affordability requirements
(7) The AHD must demonstrate a minimum Net Density as outlined in (i)-(ii) below. Note: Applicants must calculate Net Density as the number of unadjusted dwelling units per acre in the AHSC Benefits Calculator Tool. (A) To calculate the Net Density based on the total number of dwelling units, the Applicant may use either:
(i) The un-adjusted total number of dwelling units in the Project based on the type of development and Project Area Type:
• Residential Only Projects: TOD Projects must meet
a minimum net density of 30 units per acre; ICP
Projects must meet a minimum net density of 20
units per acre; and RIPA Projects must meet a
minimum Net Density of 15 units per acre.
• Mixed Use Developments may demonstrate
consistency with the Net Density requirements
through either the unit per acre, as stated above, or
Floor Area Ratio (FAR). TOD Projects must reach a
FAR greater than 2.0; ICP Projects must reach a
FAR greater than 1.5; and RIPA must reach a FAR
greater than 0.75.
146
AHSC Round 9 Program Guidelines – Page 11
February 26, 2025
(ii) A number adjusted for unit size by multiplying the factors in this subsection by the total number of units in each unit size category, then summing the resulting products:
• 0 Bedroom = 0.7 factor
• 1 Bedroom =0.9 factor
• 2 Bedroom = 1.5 factor
• 3 Bedroom = 1.6 factor
• 4 Bedroom = 1.8 factor
(B) Acquisition and Substantial Rehabilitation (including preservation of affordable housing at-risk of conversion to market rate housing) are exempt from the minimum density requirements in this section but shall not result in fewer units or lower percentage of total affordability than currently exists except where reductions in unit count are required to meet building code requirements.
(8) The AHD Capital Project or Mixed Use Development in the case that nonresidential uses are included, must be powered entirely through electricity with no connections to natural gas infrastructure. Projects required to include fossil fuel-based backup power by regulation or code should consider the cleanest and most renewable technology first, starting with gaseous fuel (e.g., Renewable Natural Gas (RNG), Natural Gas (NG), Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), and then Tier 4 compliant diesel.
(9) The AHD must offer high speed broadband internet service to residents, with speeds listed in Section 103.1(g)(7), to each Assisted Unit for a minimum of three years, free of charge to the tenants, and available within six months of the AHD’s placed-in-service date.
(10) Must supply at least one Secure Overnight Bicycle Parking spot for every two residential units.
(11) AHD Capital Projects may:
(A) Include residential units that are rental or homeownership, but not both. (B) Consist of a Scattered Site constituting a single, integrated AHD.

Rental AHDs on a Scattered Site must meet all the requirements set forth by Section 8303(b) of the UMRs. For Homeownership AHDs on Scattered Sites, the individual sites must have a single owner at the time of execution of the AHSC grant Standard Agreement; (C) Include nonresidential uses that are compatible under local zoning. (12) AHD Capital Project shall not include:
(A) An AHD that contains multiple development sites when one development site is receiving 4 percent low-income housing tax credits and another is receiving 9 percent low-income housing tax credits, or when the multiple development sites are each receiving separate 4 percent low-income housing tax credits.
(B) An application proposing an AHD with both 4 percent low-income housing tax credits and 9 percent low-income housing tax credits, or with multiple 4 percent low-income housing tax credits, will be disqualified on the grounds that it is not proposing an AHD within the meaning and design of the AHSC Program. To the extent such tax credit scenarios are contemplated, they shall constitute two separate 147
AHSC Round 9 Program Guidelines – Page 12
February 26, 2025
and independent AHDs, each of which must submit an entirely separate application and qualify independently of the other. (C) Any Project that proposes a single AHD at application for scoring purposes, but after receiving an award letter attempts to split its single AHD into multiple AHDs with separate ownership structures or separate financing structures will be disencumbered as it no longer meets the requirements of the AHSC Program.

Article III. Application Procedures
Section 111. Scoring Criteria
AHSC Program funds will be allocated through the process outlined in Section 112, based on the merits of the application to support a sustainable housing development that expands and improves transit, walking, and biking infrastructure, providing opportunities to reduce VMT by supporting connectivity between housing and destinations to bring about reduction of GHG emissions.

The scoring criteria is divided into three broad categories, each with additional subcategories, for a total of 100 points. Scoring elements are detailed under AHSC Scoring Elements and Criteria. It is the intent of the AHSC Program to use scoring to differentiate Projects for ranking, so it is not expected that any Project will score the full 100 points.

Projects will be reviewed and scored only after meeting threshold requirements as detailed in Section 103.1. Projects that do not meet threshold requirements will not be scored and therefore are not eligible for award. All the scoring criteria will be applied to every Project, regardless of the Project components present in each specific Project.

AHSC Scoring Elements and Criteria
Estimated GHG Reductions Scoring (30 points)
• Transit and Shared Mobility GHG (5 points)
• Project Area GHG (10 points)
• GHG Efficiency (15 points)
Quantitative Policy Scoring (50 points)
• Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure (20 points) • Location Efficiency and Local Context (14 points)
• Housing Affordability and Funds Committed (9 points)
• Anti-Displacement Activities (4 points)
• Local Workforce Development and Hiring Practices (3 points) Narrative-Based Policy Scoring (20 points)
• Climate Adaptation & Community Resiliency (7 points)
• Community Benefit & Engagement (6 points)
• Collaboration & Planning (4 points)
• Equity & Transformation (3 points)
To receive points related to a specific Project component, the Applicant must request a portion of the costs through the AHSC Program (e.g., an Applicant can only receive points related to an AHD when requesting AHD or HRI funds).

In all scoring categories, it is the responsibility of the Applicant to provide accurate, complete, and clear descriptions of their proposed Project. The Department and Council staff will use the required supporting documentation provided in the submitted application to verify claims, and cannot accept, nor rely on, additional or alternate materials provided after the application deadline. Applicants shall not provide intentionally unclear or vague answers to avoid disclosing relevant or material details of a Project and are instead required to be forthcoming in their application and respond clearly in the spirit and intent of the AHSC Program. The Department and Council staff reserve the right to withhold all points in any scoring categories if Applicant-submitted documentation is determined to be unclear or incomplete. Project details not disclosed to the Department that are later discovered or 167
AHSC Round 9 Program Guidelines – Page 32
February 26, 2025
disclosed, and which are determined to be inconsistent with the requirements of the AHSC Program, will result in disencumbrance of the awarded funds and negative points, if applicable.

Estimated GHG Emission Reductions – 30 Points Maximum
Applications will be scored on the GHG emission reductions of proposed Project components, for a total of 30 points. Applicants are required to adhere to quantification requirements and guidance published by California Air Resources Board (CARB) and SGC regarding GHG emission reduction estimates and should refer to the AHSC Quantification Methodology and the AHSC User Guide available on the CARB CCI Reporting Tools webpage.

Applicants should refer to the AHSC Quantification Methodology for a complete list of quantifiable Project components. The GHG emission reductions attributable to the AHSC Program will be scored in the following GHG categories:
• Transit and Shared Mobility GHG: Transit and shared mobility project component(s) for a maximum of 5 points;
• Project Area GHG: Affordable housing, Active Transportation, and/or grid-connected solar photovoltaic (PV) project component(s) for a maximum of 10 points; and • GHG Efficiency: Total GHG emission reductions per AHSC Program dollar for a maximum of 15 points
(a) Estimated GHG Emission Reductions Scoring Process:
(1) Applicants will estimate GHG emission reductions of each quantifiable Project component using the most recent AHSC Benefits Calculator Tool, available on the CARB CCI Reporting Tools webpage.
(A) Each application requesting GGRF funding must include at least one of the project components listed in the AHSC Quantification Methodology.

Applications are not required to estimate the benefits of all quantifiable project components. Also note that the AHSC Benefits Calculator Tool will prorate GHG Reductions according to the share of GGRF funding from AHSC and other GGRF programs. GGRF Funding from other programs should be specified by the Applicant in the Project Info Tab and prorated GHG emission reductions will appear in the GHG Summary Tab. (B) Applications that include a single ZEV purchase as a Project component must use AHSC Program dollars to fund more than 50 percent of the vehicle cost to be eligible for GHG quantification. In the case that multiple ZEV of a single mode type are purchased, all but one vehicle must be funded entirely by AHSC while the additional vehicle shall have more than 50 percent funded by AHSC to be eligible for quantification. (C) Applications quantifying solar PV electricity generation will only receive credit for electricity generation above state code requirements. Applicants should refer to the applicable energy code at the time of project building permit application submittal.
(D) Phased Projects should only quantify the Project components for the phase seeking AHSC funding in the current application cycle. Previously funded or future phases are not included in the GHG calculation. 168
AHSC Round 9 Program Guidelines – Page 33
February 26, 2025
(2) The GHG emission reductions of each application will be ranked from highest to lowest within each GHG category. Each application will be assigned to one of five bins in ranked order. Each bin will receive an assigned point score as follows:
(A) Transit and Shared Mobility GHG
(i) Bin 1: 5 points
(ii) Bin 2: 4 points
(iii) Bin 3: 3 points
(iv) Bin 4: 2 points
(v) Bin 5: 1 point
(B) Project Area GHG
(i) Bin 1: 10 points
(ii) Bin 2: 8 points
(iii) Bin 3: 6 points
(iv) Bin 4: 4 points
(v) Bin 5: 2 points
(C) GHG Efficiency
(i) Bin 1: 15 points
(ii) Bin 2: 12 points
(iii) Bin 3: 9 points
(iv) Bin 4: 6 points
(v) Bin 5: 3 points
(D) Note: Projects that do not include a transit component or include transit components that result in a net increase in emissions will be placed in Bin 5 but receive zero points for the Transit and Shared Mobility GHG Category. (3) The score of each GHG category will be combined to determine the Project’s Total GHG Score.
(4) Please note that while all Projects are scored together, independent of Project Area Type, Projects will only compete within their Project Area Type for the first 80 percent of funding available in the NOFA per Section 112.

Quantitative Policy Scoring – 50 Points Maximum
(a) Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure (STI) – 20 Points Maximum (1) Up to 4 points for the total length (in Lane Miles) of AHSC-funded Context Sensitive Bikeways, as follows:
(A) 4 points for at least two (2.0) Lane Miles
(B) 1 point for at least one (1.0) Lane Mile
(C) Note: AHSC Program funds may be used to install new or improved bikeways, even if they do not meet the requirements of a Context Sensitive Bikeway; however, points will only be awarded for Context Sensitive Bikeways. Improved bikeways must be facility enhancements that allow an upgrade from Class II to Class I or IV; or Class III to a facility that creates dedicated bicycle space (Class I, II, or IV). A project that converts a temporary Class IV bikeway (e.g., paint, plastic bollards, and/or K-rail) to a permanent Class IV bikeway using permanent physical barriers (e.g., poured concrete and/or plantings) is an eligible cost and eligible Context Sensitive Bikeway, but would not be eligible for GHG Quantification since it is not a new bikeway.
169
AHSC Round 9 Program Guidelines – Page 34
February 26, 2025
(2) 2 points for Projects that expand an existing bicycle network. A new Context Sensitive Bikeway funded by AHSC must have an entry point within the Project Area and directly intersect with an existing bikeway as a way to connect to the existing bike network. The existing bikeway and bikeway network is not required to be comprised of Context Sensitive Bikeways.
(3) Up to 3 points for the length of AHSC-funded Safe and Accessible Walkways, as follows:
(A) 3 points for repairing or constructing sections of sidewalks, walkways, or ramps that create more than 2,000 feet of continuous Safe and Accessible Walkway.
(B) 1 point for repairing or constructing sections of sidewalks, walkways, or ramps that create more than 1,000, but at or less than 2,000 feet, of continuous Safe and Accessible Walkway.
(C) Note: STI improvements that will make walkways safe and accessible (e.g., through new or repaired sidewalks or curb ramps) will be measured for the distance of the entire block face on which the infrastructure improvement will be made so long as the entire distance of its walkway will then meet the definition of Safe and Accessible Walkway. Crosswalk improvements, which are eligible STI components, can be measured for the crosswalk distance plus the distance of one block face to which it connects, so long as the block face already is or will be a Safe and Accessible Walkway at the completion of the Project.
(4) Up to 2 points for Projects that fund the construction of new pedestrian facilities where none exist at the time of application submission. Projects will be eligible for points based on the continuous linear feet of new pedestrian facilities as listed below in subsections (A) and (B). Examples include new overpasses or underpasses, and new Class 1 path or sidewalk where no walkway currently exists so long as these facilities meet the definition of Safe and Accessible Walkway. To be considered ‘continuous,’ the distance of the new facility should be represented by one singular, unbroken, unduplicated line on the Project Area Map. Curb ramps or other wheelchair-accessible entry points are required for any crossings in this new facility but would not be sufficient in and of themselves to be eligible for this point. The Lane Miles of one Class I Multi-Use Path can be counted to fulfill the distance of this scoring section; but Applicants may not use the same portion of a Multi-Use Path for both bikeway and walkway scoring sections.

For Narrative-Based Policy Scoring, Applicants must provide responses to the questions and prompts outlined in the Narrative Prompts document. Please reference the Narrative Prompts document and rubric at the SGC AHSC Program Website for instructions, the specific questions to answer, and necessary application materials. The following is a summary of each section:
(a) Climate Adaptation & Community Resiliency – 7 Points Maximum Communities will continue to experience effects of climate change in many ways, including increased likelihood of droughts, flooding, heatwaves, sea level rise, severe weather, and wildfires. Due to these effects, climate resiliency is a key part of planning, design, and Project implementation. The prompts will ask Applicants to: 1) outline the risks posed from climate change and other environmental exposures; 2) address how the risks will be reduced by appropriate green building, Urban Greening, adaptation, or mitigation strategies; and 3) how, more broadly, the Project will promote equity and reduce the health risks of climate change and other environmental exposures including extreme heat, wildfires and smoke, air pollution from vehicle emissions, and more. Under this section applicants must fill out the Climate Adaptation Assessment Matrix and related prompts.
(b) Community Benefits & Engagement - 6 Points Maximum
Community involvement and leadership are crucial to ensuring that both the principal objectives and co-benefits of the Project respond to the true needs of its future residents and the existing community, broadly. The prompts will ask Applicants, how:
1) local residents, the developer(s), stakeholders, government, and/or communitybased organizations were engaged to help shape the Project to date; 2) communitybased organizations and local residents, especially from Disadvantaged and LowIncome Communities and/or those with disabilities, were meaningfully engaged in identifying needs as well as Project components; 3) the Project is planning to continue engagement in the future; and 4) the Project is taking concrete steps to address community-identified needs and promote equity, community health, and wellbeing.

Section 112. Selection Process Criteria
Funds for AHSC Program will be decided per the objectives and policies listed below. (a) The highest scoring applications that meet all threshold requirements as determined by the Department, based on criteria set forth in these Guidelines, shall be recommended to the Council for funding as specified in the NOFA to the extent funding is available:
(1) Project Area Type funding goals:
(A) At least thirty-five (35.0) percent of funds as designated in the NOFA to TOD Project Area applications;
(B) At least thirty-five (35.0) percent of funds as designated in the NOFA to ICP Project Area applications;
(C) At least ten (10.0) percent of funds as designated in the NOFA to RIPA applications; and
(D) Remaining Funds: After designating funds to Projects that meet the Project Area Type funding targets, remaining available funds may be awarded to any eligible Project Area Type that meets the goals detailed in this section.
(2) Geographic Goal: The Council strives to achieve a diverse distribution of resources and recognizes that in order to meet the state’s environmental commitments, GHG emission reductions must be made in all parts of the State.

The Council will use Remaining Funds, as described in Section 112(a)(1)(D) to ensure a distribution of total AHSC Program funds that allows for all geographic areas with a competitive application to receive funds, with a minimum of one Project per geographic area to be awarded.

The AHSC Program defines the eight geographic areas as follows (listed by geographic area followed by counties pertaining to each area):
(A) Central Coast: Monterey, San Benito, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz, Ventura
(B) Coastal Southern California: Los Angeles, Orange
(C) Inland Southern California: Imperial, Riverside, San Bernardino (D) North State and Sierras: Alpine, Amador, Butte, Calaveras, Colusa, Del Norte, Glenn, Humboldt, Inyo, Lake, Lassen, Mariposa, Mendocino, Modoc, Mono, Nevada, Plumas, Shasta, Sierra, Siskiyou, Tehama, Trinity, Tuolumne (E) Sacramento Area: El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo, Yuba (F) San Diego Area: San Diego
(G) San Francisco Bay Area: Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, Sonoma
(H) San Joaquin Valley: Fresno, Kern, Kings, Madera, Merced, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Tulare
(3) Tribal Entity Goal: To the extent qualifying Projects are received, the Council will seek to provide $50M of funding for Tribal Entities, an amount equivalent to the maximum request available for one Project. To be considered for the Tribal Entity Goal, a Tribal Entity must be the Developer for the AHD and/or HRI components, or the Project partner responsible for STI components. Projects where the only involvement of a Tribal Entity is as an Applicant for PGMs, will not contribute towards the Tribal Entity Goal.

The Project must meet the requirements laid out in Appendix B to qualify for 179
AHSC Round 9 Program Guidelines – Page 44
February 26, 2025
the Tribal Entity Goal. The Project must meet all AHSC Program requirements unless stated otherwise in Guidelines or which have been waived or modified pursuant to AB1010 (2019) (HSC Section 50406 subdivision (p)). Following the selection of Projects to meet this target, any remaining Project(s) involving a Tribal Entity will compete for the Remaining Funds along with all other Projects. Any funds not utilized under this target will be considered part of the Remaining Funds that can be used to meet any of the other designated targets and goals detailed in Section 112. (4) Disadvantaged Communities (DAC) Statutory Requirement: At least fifty (50.0) percent of AHSC Program expenditure for Projects that have direct and meaningful benefits to DACs and have the AHSC-funded AHD located within a DAC.
(5) Affordable Housing Statutory Requirement: At least fifty (50.0) percent of the annual proceeds appropriated for the AHSC Program shall be expended for AHD(s). For the purposes of this set-aside, expenditures related to AHD and HRI Capital Projects shall count toward this requirement. (6) A single Project may count toward any or all the requirements and targets in Section 112(a)(1)-(5).
(7) After all the requirements and targets in Section 112(a)(1)-(5) are achieved, any Remaining Funds will be awarded to the highest scoring applications. In the event that two or more applications have the same final score, the Project with the total highest GHG Reductions (MTCO2e), after appeals and CARB review, will take precedence.
(8) In the event there are insufficient Projects that have scored at least 70 points or to the extent applications received are insufficient to meet any of the targets detailed in Section 112(a)(1)-(5), the Council reserves the right to waive these targets at their discretion.
(b) The following additional policies will inform the final decision of Project awards:
(1) A single AHD Developer award limits per funding cycle are established in the NOFA. However, this limitation may be waived if necessary to meet AHSC Program statutory funding set-asides.
(2) Projects will not be partially funded. Given the interconnected nature of the AHSC Program, any unfunded portion of the Project would have a potential change to scoring. At the discretion of the Council, a Project that received a lower score may be awarded funding if the Remaining Funds are sufficient to fully fund the Project. If funds remain after awards, those funds will roll forward into the next NOFA.
(3) To support implementation of an applicable SCS or APS and consistency with activities or strategies identified in a regional SCS, APS, or equivalent planning document that demonstrates per capita reductions in VMT and GHG, as allowed by SB 862 (Chapter 36, Statutes of 2014), an MPO or regional agency may develop its own process prior to the application due date to identify and recommend applications that have the highest regional priorities based on criteria established by the MPO/region. Agency staff may request participation by emailing the [email protected] inbox no later than 30 days after the release of NOFA. 180

(b) The Applicant meets the conditions of award funding to the extent applicable, and subject to any modifications or waivers approved by the Department Director or their designee pursuant to AB 1010 (2019) (Health and Safety Code Section 50406, subdivision (p)) that may be set forth in a Standard Agreement. It is noted that these same conditions are not required to be satisfied initially to engage in the competitive award process:
(1) BIA Consent. The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) has consented to the Applicant’s execution and recordation (as applicable) of all Departmentrequired documents that are subject to 25 CFR sec. 152.34, 25 CFR sec. 162.012, or 25 CFR sec. 162.338, et seq., prior to award disbursement. This requirement shall not apply to projects that are located on fee land not subject to a restriction by the United States against alienation.
(2) Title Insurance. The Department has received title insurance for the property underlying the Project satisfactory to the Department. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, upon a showing of good cause, for Applicants unable to provide a conventional title insurance policy satisfactory to the Department for land held in trust by the BIA or land subject to a restriction by the United States against alienation, this condition may be satisfied by a title status report issued by the BIA Land Title and Records Office and pursuant to a title opinion letter issued for the benefit of the Department but paid for by the Applicant. (3) Recordation Requirements. Where recordation of instruments is a condition of award funding or otherwise required pursuant to the Standard Agreement, the subject instrument will be deemed to be properly recorded if recorded with the Land Titles and Records Office at the BIA or in the appropriate official records of the county in which the Project is located, as may be applicable. If any Department loan and/or grant documents are recorded in the chain of title for the fee interest in the Project site, then either:
(A) There must also be recorded in the chain of title for the fee interest in the AHD site, restrictions precluding such interest from being placed in trust with the BIA until term of the Department’s affordability restrictions for the loan and/or grant have run, or;
(B) Subsequent to the Department’s loan and/or grant document(s) being recorded in the chain of title for the fee interest in the AHD site, such fee interest may thereafter be placed in trust with the BIA, subject to the Department’s previously recorded loan and/or grant document(s), which 210
AHSC Round 9 Program Guidelines – Page 75
February 26, 2025
recorded Department loan and/or grant documents the BIA must approve to the extent such approval is required by law.
(4) Site Control. For all Projects subject to the terms of this Appendix, not located on trust or restricted land within Indian Country, the acceptable form of Site Control will be either: A) fee security, or B) leasehold security meeting the requirements of UMR 8316. If a Department loan or grant is secured on fee land, then there must be a restriction preventing that land being put into trust until the Department loan or grant term is complete.

Appendix C. Awardee Publicity Guidelines
Recipients are required to acknowledge SGC, the Department, and CCI in all publications, websites, signage, invitations, and other media-related and public-outreach products and events related to the AHSC Project. Guidance on CCI logo usage, signage, and logo files contained in the CCI Media and Communications Style Guide are available at:
www.caclimateinvestments.ca.gov/logo-graphics-request. SGC and Department staff will provide their respective logo files and guidance on their usage directly to Recipients. (a) Long-form written materials, such as reports, must include the following standard language about the Council, Department, AHSC, and CCI:
(1) “The Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) Program builds healthier communities and protects the environment by increasing the supply of affordable places to live near jobs, stores, transit, and other daily needs. This program is administered by Strategic Growth Council (SGC), which coordinates the activities of State agencies and partners with stakeholders to promote sustainability, economic prosperity, and quality of life for all Californians (www.sgc.ca.gov) and implemented by the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

The AHSC Program is part of CCI, a statewide program that puts billions of Capand-Trade dollars to work reducing GHG emissions, strengthening the economy, and improving public health and the environment – particularly in Disadvantaged Communities (DACs). The Cap-and-Trade program also creates a financial incentive for industries to invest in clean technologies and develop innovative ways to reduce pollution. California Climate Investments projects include affordable housing, renewable energy, public transportation, ZEVs, environmental restoration, more sustainable agriculture, recycling, and much more. Find out more about the program at: www.caclimateinvestments.ca.gov.” (b) Any informational materials that do not qualify as long-form, but include at least a paragraph of text, such as press releases, media advisories, short case studies, some flyers, etc., should include the following language:
(1) Long version: “[Project Name] is supported by California Strategic Growth Council’s Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities program with funds from California Climate Investments, a statewide initiative that puts billions of Cap-and-Trade dollars to work reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, strengthening the economy, and improving public health and the environment – particularly in Disadvantaged Communities.”
(2) Short version: “[Project Name] is supported by California Strategic Growth Council’s Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities program with funds from California Climate Investments—Cap-and-Trade Dollars at Work” (c) Recipients may at times produce promotional materials that are primarily visual in nature, such as banners, signage, certain flyers, and sharable images for social media. In such cases, when including the boilerplate language acknowledging CCI and SGC support is not practical, grantees should instead include the official logos of the Council, the Department, and CCI, preceded by the words “Funded by”. 212

All press releases must be approved by SGC Communications Office prior to distribution and the Council and Department must be alerted and invited to participate in any and all groundbreaking, grand opening, and press conferences related to the award by emailing [email protected], [email protected], [email protected].
(f) Recipients are required to prepare one or more two-to-four-page documents that provide a summary of the Project components and tell the story of the AHSC Program proposal development process and/or implementation. All such materials must be approved by SGC Communications Office prior to distribution. These materials will be displayed on the Council website.
(g) Applicants and Recipients are encouraged to use social media to share the process of creating an AHSC Program proposal and to inform the throughout implementation. @CalSGC, @California_HCD, and @CAClimateInvest should be tagged on all posts related to the AHSC grant.
