Sustainability and Energy Action Plan

APPENDIX III: LIST OF POTENTIAL FUNDING RESOURCES GRANTS PASS SUSTAINABILITY AND ENERGY ACTION PLAN AVAILABLE FUNDING RESOURCES The list below is the product of City Staff and the Taskforce’s best attempt at creating a comprehensive list of all currently available funding for which the projects in this Plan or similar endeavors might be eligible for. The current abundance of such funding is a major driver of the urgency behind Plan recommendations. Current availability of funding is largely due to programs created by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). The IRA provides for relevant funding through 2034, and the IIJA provides for funding opportunities through 2026. The amounts of money both pieces of legislation provide for are substantial, making for unprecedented resource availability. While many of this Plan's projects’ ultimate impacts make them a sensible investment without such substantial funding, their ability to qualify for these funding opportunities right now makes them even more compelling and creates additional urgency. The following list of funding sources includes IRA, IIJA, other federal funding programs, state funding sources, and non -governmental funding opportunities, and covers a wide variety of potential project topics, from renewable energy generation to recycling improvements. Among all these available resources, almost every project recommended in the body of this Plan is eligible for at least one funding source.
