Availability ( "NOFA ") dated January 30, 2015, and amended as of March 19, 2015,
under the AHSC Program, established under Division 44, Part 1 of the Public
Resources Code, commencing with Section 75200. Funding for the AHSC Program is
provided from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, an account established to receive
Cap- and -Trade auction proceeds.
D. SGC is authorized to approve funding allocations for the AHSC Program,
subject to the terms and conditions of the NOFA, Program Guidelines, Application
Package, and Standard Agreement. HCD is authorized to administer the approved
