Green Infrastructure Grants for Homes

The SFPUC has launched a limited pilot program to provide grant funding for the installation of green stormwater infrastructure projects on small residential properties. The goals of the pilot program are to reduce the amount of stormwater runoff entering the sewer system and to reduce the stormwater portion of customers’ sewer service charge. Project types can include rain gardens, permeable pavement, and rainwater harvesting. To be eligible for the pilot program, the project must be located on a residential property in one of the following zip codes: 94122, 94116, 94124, or 94134. Regardless of whether your home is located in one of these zip codes or in another zip code, please fill out the interest form to sign up for our email listserv to receive future program announcements and information.
