Overview
TCC and AHSC Grants are offered by the California Strategic Growth Council to fund affordable housing, smart transit and walkable communities, urban greening, and solar and water/power efficiency projects, among a wide range of activities. Everything funded under the Grants must lead to greenhouse gas reductions and healthier communities over time. The funding for both programs comes from California Climate Investments, which puts State cap-and-trade dollars to work.

In June of 2020, the California Strategic Growth Council awarded the City of Riverside and its community partners two grants totaling $31,221,206 from the TCC and AHSC Grant Programs.
