Strategic Growth Council Factory Built Housing Pilot Program Round 3 Catalyst Grant

The Factory-Built Housing (FBH) Program is designed to support regional strategies that use factory-built housing to expand the supply of affordable, high-quality homes across California. The program will provide Catalyst Grants of up to $500,000 over a two-year term to help grantees launch or advance early-stage efforts that build regional knowledge, capacity, networks, and stakeholder support for the production and deployment of factory-built housing in California. The grants may fund activities such as conducting research, completing market studies, identifying and convening stakeholders, hosting peer learning exchanges, and developing preliminary plans. The program aims to create solutions that can be scaled and replicated to move beyond one-off development projects to broader, long-term impact. • Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, other legal entities, public agencies, and tribal governments. • The project area must be located in California and composed of at least one county and/or two local jurisdictions. • No matched or leverage funding requirements. • The total estimated available funding is $10,000,000. • The expected number of awards is dependent on the number of eligible applications. • The estimated amount per award is between $1 and $500,000.
