Funding is intended to support innovative models, diverse approaches, and new partnerships that will promote a vision for growing the housing supply in a sustainable and equitable way.

Eligible projects benefit the six-county SCAG region of Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ventura counties.

All activities must show a nexus supporting increased housing production.
