The California Energy Commission (CEC) is offering the INDIGO Program grant to support the deployment of advanced decarbonization and/or grid support technologies at California industrial facilities. This initiative aims to promote electrification and significantly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the industrial sector. The program aligns with the CEC's mission to advance clean energy and reduce climate-warming pollution, specifically targeting the industrial sector's environmental impact. The grant targets a broad range of beneficiaries within California's industrial sector, including existing industrial facilities, utilities, equipment manufacturers, energy service companies, project aggregators, and project developers. The impact goals are multi-faceted, focusing on reducing fossil fuel and thermal energy usage, decreasing criteria air pollutants and carbon footprints, and supporting electrical grid reliability, especially during net peak periods. Projects are particularly encouraged to benefit priority populations by reducing air pollutants and engaging directly with low-income or disadvantaged communities. The program's priorities and focuses include deploying cutting-edge, emerging industrial decarbonization technologies that demonstrate cost-effectiveness and scalability. Key project goals include electrifying industrial processes, maximizing GHG emission reductions, driving the scalability of project technology to other facilities and industries, reducing electrical demand during net peak periods, and providing air pollution benefits to priority populations. Entities associated with oil and gas production or processing are ineligible, as are food and beverage industries already receiving funding for the same projects from CEC’s Food Production Investment Program (FPIP). Expected outcomes and measurable results revolve around the adoption of electrification and other eligible decarbonization technologies, leading to quantifiable reductions in annual GHG emissions and other criteria air emissions at industrial processing facilities. Additionally, the program anticipates improved grid reliability through the adoption of commercially available and emerging technologies. Successful projects are expected to demonstrate the potential for widespread adoption across multiple industrial facilities, fostering increased confidence in these advanced technologies. The CEC's strategic priorities, as evidenced by the INDIGO Program, center on accelerating California’s transition to a clean energy economy by supporting technological innovation and deployment in key sectors. The theory of change behind this grant is that by providing significant funding for the demonstration and deployment of cutting-edge decarbonization and grid support technologies in industrial settings, the CEC can catalyze widespread adoption, leading to substantial reductions in GHG emissions, improved air quality, enhanced grid stability, and equitable benefits for all Californians, particularly in vulnerable communities. With up to $46,200,000 available for grants, individual projects can receive between $4,000,000 and $10,000,000. This substantial funding aims to incentivize large-scale, impactful projects that can serve as models for future industrial decarbonization efforts across the state.

This funding opportunity supports U.S. institutions conducting clinical trials on innovative regenerative medicine therapies using adult stem cells, focusing on extending research from previously funded projects.

The Consolidated Homeless Fund (CHFP), managed by the Office of Housing and Community Development (OHCD) in Rhode Island, is dedicated to preventing and responding to homelessness across the state. This grant program is deeply aligned with the OHCD's mission to establish a homeless crisis response system that prioritizes prevention and, when homelessness occurs, rapidly transitions individuals to permanent housing solutions. The initiative emphasizes a person-centered approach, rooted in evidence-based best practices, and incorporates a Housing First philosophy that is trauma-informed and low-barrier, reflecting a strategic commitment to holistic and effective interventions. The target beneficiaries for this program are individuals and households experiencing or at risk of homelessness in Rhode Island. The impact goals are to prevent homelessness whenever possible and, failing that, to rapidly exit those affected into stable, permanent housing. The CHFP explicitly calls for proposals that integrate the voices of individuals with lived expertise in homelessness, alongside strategies for harm reduction, trauma-informed care, elimination of barriers, and a strong housing-focused approach. This underscores the program's commitment to creating a system that is responsive to the real-world needs and experiences of those it serves. Priorities and focuses for this RFP include a range of project types such as Emergency Shelters, Street Outreach (including CES Navigation), Rapid Re-Housing, Supportive Services Only, System-wide and systems projects (including Housing Problem Solving), Warming Centers, Temporary Seasonal Shelters, and New Permanent Emergency Shelters. The program strongly encourages agencies to leverage mainstream resources, particularly Medicaid funding, to expand services and reach more households, even while acknowledging that Medicaid cannot cover all aspects of services. This highlights a strategic priority to maximize resource utilization and create a more integrated support system. The expected outcomes and measurable results revolve around a more effective and humane homeless crisis response system. This includes an increase in successful preventions of homelessness, a reduction in the duration of homelessness, and a higher rate of successful transitions to permanent housing. The emphasis on evidence-based practices and a Housing First philosophy suggests a desire for data-driven results that demonstrate a tangible impact on the lives of those experiencing homelessness. The grant also seeks innovative projects, indicating a desire to explore new approaches that can further enhance the system's effectiveness. The OHCD's strategic priorities are clearly articulated through its investment in a homeless crisis response system that is person-centered, trauma-informed, and low-barrier. Their theory of change appears to be that by funding a diverse array of projects, emphasizing collaboration, and requiring the incorporation of lived expertise and mainstream resources, they can build a more robust, equitable, and ultimately successful system for preventing and ending homelessness in Rhode Island. The allocation of approximately $4.5 million in funds, with $2.5 million earmarked for new projects, further demonstrates a commitment to both sustaining existing effective programs and fostering innovation within the homeless response sector.
