National Disaster Resilience Grant
1110-110960
Division Overview
In 2016, the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) teamed up with Tuolumne County and others to submit a NDRC grant application. In January 2017, the State and County were notified of a NDRC award of roughly $70 million. The grant was divided into three pillars, one of which, was the design and construction of two Community Resilience Center (CRC).
Since the award, Tuolumne County staff have worked with outside agencies and the community on the development of two CRC facilities-Groveland and Tuolumne. While the design of each of these facilities is the same, the community goals for each one is different. The overreaching goals of each facility is to bring services and programs out into the community and to provide a place for learning, social cohesion and emergency sheltering. Specifically, the goals of each facility are as follows:
- Groveland CRC- The community was looking for a center that was more geared toward seniors, creating a hub or providing a variety of service and hosting events. They wanted a center in which the community could come together to work and play.
- The goal of the Groveland CRC was to create a facility to foster social cohesion and community resiliency.
- Tuolumne CRC- The community was looking for a center more geared toward youth, learning and providing a catalyst for increased economic development. It was important to locate this proposed center close to the downtown area for ease of access and again to re-energize the downtown economy.
- The goal of the Tuolumne CRC was to create a facility that fosters economic revitalization and economic resiliency.
- These CRC facilities are approximately 8,775 sq.ft. and will provide services and programs to the communities of Groveland and Tuolumne during emergency and non-emergency times.
These CRC facilities will contain the following amenities:
- Office space for various agencies
- Classroom for meetings and remote learning
- Commercial kitchen
- Large meeting area that could hold 200 people
- Emergency generator power throughout the whole building
- Audio visual equipment and Wifi internet connections
- ADA accessibility
- Plenty of parking
This project will be out to bid January 2021 with construction commencing April 2021 and final completion/occupancy June 2022.
Adopted Budget By Year
* Each department is part of a "Fund". Many times, a department or even a fund may show greater expense then revenues for the current fiscal year. This does not account for money that was not spent in prior years, also known as "beginning fund balance". To see beginning fund balances for each fund click here. When creating the annual budget Counties are required by law to adopt a balanced budget, meaning the total expense cannot exceed the sum of revenue plus beginning fund balances.
