Senate Bill 1 Sea Level Rise Adaptation Grant Program – Track 1

Purpose: The goal of the Senate Bill 1 Sea Level Rise Adaptation Planning Grant Program (SB 1 Grant Program) is to support the implementation of SB 1 (Atkins, 2021) for local, regional, and tribal governments. Ultimately, the SB 1 Grant Program aims to provide funding for coastal communities to develop consistent sea level rise (SLR) adaptation plans and projects to build resilience to SLR along the entire coast of California and San Francisco Bay. Description: The SB 1 Grant Program aims to provide funding for sea level rise (SLR) adaptation planning to help prepare communities for the impacts of climate change. While many jurisdictions have advanced planning already underway or complete, many others have yet to begin comprehensive planning or assessments. The Ocean Protection Council (OPC) aims to address this need by offering funding for a range of SLR planning activities. These fall into the following categories: Track 1: SLR Adaptation Planning Phase 1: Pre-planning (explore, define, assess) Community Visioning Vulnerability Assessment Phase 2: Data Collection Data/Information Gathering Phase 3: Planning (define adaptation frameworks and strategies) SLR Adaptation Plan SF Bay Subregional Shoreline Plan Sector-Specific Adaptation Plan Track 2: SLR Implementation Projects Phase 4: Project Implementation (implement, innovate, assess, adjust) Nature-based and Green-Grey Hybrid2 Adaptation Projects/Feasibility Study/Design Plans Track One proposals (Projects in the Pre-planning, Data Collection, and Planning Phases) will be accepted through a rolling, quarterly, non-competitive process, provided the proposals satisfy the Sea Level Rise Adaptation Criteria and requirements of the SB 1 Grant Program solicitation. Track Two proposals (Projects in the Implementation Project Phase) will be accepted through a competitive process starting in mid-late 2024, subject to availability of funding. A complementary SB 1 Technical Assistance (TA) Program provides application assistance to eligible SB 1 applicants facing significant and imminent sea level rise threats along the California coast and San Francisco Bay shoreline. TA is tailored based on the applicants’ needs, including but not limited to capacity building and grant writing support. The most up-to-date information on the SB 1 TA Program, including information on how to apply for TA, can be found on the SB 1 Funding webpage.
