WHAT IS THE TRANSFORMATIVE CLIMATE COMMUNITIES PROGRAM
​
The Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) Program is a California Climate Investment (CCI) program administered by the Strategic Growth Council (SGC), and implemented by the Department of Conservation (DOC) and other partnering State agencies. The TCC Program provides funding for projects that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through the development and implementation of neighborhood-level transformative climate community plans that include multiple, coordinated GHG emissions reduction projects that provide local economic, environmental, and health benefits to disadvantaged communities.
​
NEIGHBORHOOD DEMONSTRATED NEED
​
Poverty
Nearly 25% of area residents live in poverty
​
Air Pollution
Exposure to pollution may contribute to the higher rates of emergency services for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) experienced by residents in project area.
​
Low Birth Weight
In comparison to Sacramento County, there is a disproportionate amount of infants in the project area born with low birth weight, which is influenced by social determinants, economic and environmental factors.

There are higher transportation injury incidents and fatalities along North 12th Street and Richards Boulevard.
​
Energy Burden
Sacramento had the second highest energy burden in the state based on median household income as compared to other metropolitan cities in California.
