The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC)’s Green Infrastructure Grant Program is a resource for property owners, providing up to $2 million per project to install green infrastructure that captures stormwater runoff from at least 0.5 acres of impermeable surface. The Spring 2023 Grant Cycle is open, and applications are due Friday, June 2. Green infrastructure, like rain gardens, green roofs, rainwater harvesting, and permeable pavement, captures stormwater runoff from rain that falls on our rooftops, driveways, streets, and sidewalks. During heavy storms, this relieves the burden on our city’s combined sewer system, which treats both stormwater runoff and sewage before releasing them into the bay or ocean. By adding plants and soil to the urban landscape, green infrastructure also reduces urban heat island effect, provides natural habitat for wildlife, cleans our air, and makes our streets more beautiful and enjoyable.
