Description: Senate Bill 535 (De León, Chapter 830, Statutes of 2012) requires that at least 25 percent of the moneys allocated from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund must go to projects that provide a benefit to disadvantaged communities and that a minimum of 10 percent of the funds must be used for projects located within disadvantaged communities. The bill requires the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) to identify disadvantaged communities.
In October 2014, following a series of public workshops to gather public input, CalEPA released its list of disadvantaged communities for the purpose of SB 535. To inform its decision, CalEPA relied on the California Communities Environmental Health Screening Tool (CalEnviroScreen), a tool developed by OEHHA that identifies California’s most pollution-burdened and vulnerable communities. This map reflects the disadvantaged communities for the purpose of SB 535, which represent the 25% highest scoring census tracts from CalEnviroScreen 2.0.
