Background:  Woodfords has an opportunity to apply for $10 million in funding to be allocated by the State of California for the construction or retrofit of facilities to serve as a Community Resilience Center with emergency response and shelter capability. The CRC is intended to support the community during climate-related disasters and other emergencies. The 5-year grant is open to Tribal governments, academia, nonprofits, local government, and small businesses. A minimum of 5 awards will be made to California Tribes. Initially, 3 rounds of funding were planned. It has since been determined that only one round can be funded by the State. Future funding opportunities will be dependent on a future bond issue. Applicants are encouraged to apply for the September 18th deadline which will utilize funding set aside in the State’s General Fund. It is a very competitive application, with 184 California organizations applying. We believe, however, that Woodfords has a strong chance of securing funding.
