Funding

State housing programs

California programs that fund housing and homelessness work, with their status and the figures each agency publishes. A program total is never an award to a MicroHom project.

Funds are awarded by the State and its agencies directly to eligible applicants. MicroHom does not receive, hold or distribute public funds, and no MicroHom project has applied for or received an award.
