The 2024 climate bond authorizes $10 million for workforce development in fire prevention and wildfire resiliency work, of which $2 million is appropriated to be made available to local conservation corps.
Small in state terms, which is the point. A $10 million line attracts far less competition than a $70 million one, and the $2 million corps carve-out aligns precisely with the Urban Corps delivery model in card 50.
The administering vehicle has been moving between agencies, so the practical action here is to track where it lands rather than to prepare an application now. The Resource Conservation District in card 40 and Urban Corps in card 50 are both better placed than the District to know when it opens, which is another argument for the standing relationships.
