Priority Populations<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

Senate Bill (SB) 535 (De Leó<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>n, Chapter 830, Statutes of 2012) directs State and local agencies to make investments that benefit California's disadvantaged communities. The bill directs the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) to identify disadvantaged communities for the purposes of these investments based on geographic, socio-economic, public health, and environmental hazard criteria.<\/SPAN><\/P>

Assembly Bill (AB) 1550 (Gomez, Chapter 369, Statutes of 2016), increased the percentage of funds for projects located in disadvantaged communities from 10 to 25 percent and added a requirement for an additional 10 percent of funds to be invested in low-income communities or low-income households, as defined in the bill.<\/SPAN><\/P>

CalEnviroScreen<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

CalEnviroScreen (CES) is a screening methodology developed by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) to identify California communities that are disproportionately burdened by multiple sources of pollution. CalEPA classified census tracts in the top 25<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>th<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>percentile of cumulative CES scores as disadvantaged communities and includes tribal census areas categorized as disadvantaged communities throughout the State<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>.<\/SPAN><\/P>

In October 2021, OEHHA released CES version 4.0, CalEPA released a corresponding list of disadvantaged communities for the purpose of SB 535 and AB<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>-<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>1550 investments in May 2022<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>.<\/SPAN><\/P>

Note on Tribal Areas<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

Tribal census areas intersect with one or more census tracts. More than one tribal land area may intersect with a single census tract. Tribal areas may be wholly within a single census tract or may be partially within more than one census tract. A tribe may have a single land area represented or may be a multipart feature.<\/SPAN><\/P>

Revision Log<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

In May 2022, CalEPA identified two census tracts not designated as disadvantaged community that were prior disadvantaged community census tracts for CES version 3.0. These census tracts, 6059052404 and 6037980015 are now designated as disadvantaged community for this version CES 4.0 and surrounding buffers have been adjusted to reflect this change in designation.<\/SPAN><\/P>

ABOUT PRIORITY POPULATION INVESTMENTS 4.0<\/SPAN><\/P>

Priority Population Investments 4.0<\/SPAN><\/P>

This dataset was updated May 2022 to reflect updated disadvantaged community and low-income community designations. To see information on the previous designations, established in 2017, use the Priority Populations Investment 3.0 webmap.<\/SPAN><\/P>

Certain populations are especially vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. At least 35 percent of California Climate Investments must benefit these populations, which include disadvantaged communities, low-income communities, and low-income households, also known as \"priority populations.\"<\/SPAN><\/P>

Priority Populations<\/SPAN><\/P>

Disadvantaged communities are designated by the California Environmental Protection Agencies (CalEPA)*. In May 2022, using CalEnviroScreen 4.0 and the American Indian Areas Related National Geodatabase, CalEPA identified the list of disadvantaged community census tracts and land areas available at CalEPA Climate Investments to Benefit Disadvantaged Communities webpage. If the dataset does not show all the lands under control of a federally recognized Tribe, that Tribe may request a consultation to identify other lands. For consultations, please contact CalEPA Office of the Deputy Secretary for Environmental Justice, Tribal Affairs, and Border Relations at TribalAffairs@calepa.ca.gov.<\/SPAN><\/P>

Low-income communities and households are defined as the census tracts and households, respectively, that are either at or below 80 percent of the statewide median income, or at or below the threshold designated as low-income by the California Department of Housing and Community Development's (HCD) Revised 2021 State Income Limits.**<\/SPAN><\/P>

*Disadvantaged community designations per Senate Bill (SB) 535 (De León, Chapter 830, Statutes of 2012)<\/SPAN><\/P>

**Low-income definitions per Assembly Bill (AB) 1550 (Gomez, Chapter 369, Statutes of 2016)<\/SPAN><\/P>

Investment Minimums and Requirements<\/SPAN><\/P>

To count a project toward the investment minimums, administering agencies must show that a project provides direct, meaningful, and assured benefits and meets an important community need by using Benefit Criteria Tables developed by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). The Funding Guidelines include other requirements and guidance for targeting investments to priority populations.<\/SPAN><\/P>

Projects selected after August 2017 must follow the 2018 Funding Guidelines. Projects selected before August 2017 may refer to the 2015 Funding Guidelines and the Funding Guidelines Supplement.<\/SPAN><\/P>
