The City receives annual funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, which supports projects that benefit low- and moderate-income residents. While CDBG funds are not specifically designated for solar installations, eligible applicants may propose solar or energy-efficiency projects. Interested organizations are encouraged to watch for the City’s Annual Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for funding opportunities.
The Solar on Multifamily Affordable Housing (SOMAH) program provides incentives for solar energy photovoltaic systems for multifamily affordable housing. Those interested in learning more about the SOMAH Program should visit the program's website: www.calsomah.org.
