This program works directly with local agencies
to provide critical financial assistance for flood protection in the Delta by providing funding to safeguard public benefits from flood hazards. Those public benefits include roads, utilities, urbanized areas, water quality, recreation,
navigation, and fish and wildlife.
This program provides grant funding to
proponents of nonstructural flood management projects throughout the state that
includes wildlife habitat enhancement and/or agricultural land preservation.
This program provides technical and financial assistance to support the planning and implementation of watershed-based riverine and riparian improvements that help reduce flood-risk, restore and enhance fish populations and their habitat, and improves air quality, among other environmental benefits. The program coordinates implementation of the Urban Streams Restoration Program and the San Joaquin Fish Population Enhancement Program.
This program provides grants to local
communities for projects that reduce flooding, erosion, and associated property
damage; restore, enhance, and/or protect the natural ecological values of
streams; or promote community involvement, education, and stewardship. It has
helped fund more than 270 grants ranging from $1,000 to $1 million to
communities throughout California.
