Subregional Partnership Program 2.0

On Sept. 1, 2022, SCAG Regional Council approved the REAP 2021 Subregional Partnership 2.0 Program and Guidelines. The Subregional Partnership (SRP) 2.0 program will allocate $23 million in REAP 2.0 grant funding non-competitive formula allocation based on proportional share of the 6th Cycle RHNA to subregional councils of governments (COGs) for eligible activities supporting member cities and counties implement Housing Element work plans.

The SRP 2.0 program focus on implementing Housing Elements is a means for investing in early actions that will accelerate infill development facilitating housing supply, choice, and affordability; affirmatively furthering fair housing; and reducing vehicle miles traveled across the region. The approach also recognizes Housing Elements represent the local plans for realizing the RHNA and the goals to meet local housing needs. It is SCAG’s intent to support locally identified and approved planning tools and programs.

Eligible applicants for SRP 2.0 program funding are limited to those agencies designated as subregions under the program that submitted an Intent to Apply for Funding Form by the due date of Oct. 14, 2022. Eligible applicants also include member cities designated by an eligible subregional entity. See the “Funding Allocation and Subregional Partnership List” in the SRP 2.0 Program Guidelines for a complete list of eligible subregional partners.
