CARB developed the Funding Guidelines to provide direction for agencies that administer California Climate Investments so they design and implement their programs in a way that facilitates greenhouse gas emission reductions, meets statutory requirements, maximizes and benefits to disadvantaged communities, targets investments to disadvantaged communities, low-income communities, and low-income households to help ensure statutory investment minimums are met or exceeded, provides accountability and transparency; and supports consistency across programs.

Administering agencies are required to prepare an expenditure record documenting how their investments will further the purposes of Assembly Bill 32, contribute to achieving greenhouse gas emissions reductions and other health and environmental co-benefits, and meet other statutory requirements.

Administering agencies must use CARB tools to develop effective programs and demonstrate compliance with program requirements. Resources on this page include quantification methodologies and calculator tools for estimating GHG emissions reductions and co-benefits; benefit criteria tables for determining benefits to priority populations; and reporting templates for reporting outcomes.

This document reviews available empirical literature on the Jobs Co-benefit and identifies the direction and magnitude of the co-benefit indicators, the limitations of existing empirical literature, the existing assessment methods and tools, knowledge gaps and other issues to consider in developing co-benefit assessment methods, a proposed assessment method for further development, and an estimation of the level of effort and delivery schedule for a fully developed method.

If direct community engagement is not possible, administering agencies, applicants, and/or funding recipient can refer to the list of common needs and select a need that has documented broad support from local community-based organizations and/or residents. While this list includes some common needs of priority populations, as identified by community advocates, it is not intended to reflect a definitive list of all potential needs of disadvantaged and low-income communities and low-income households, and items included in the list may not be applicable for a specific community.
