CCE Application Portal Will Close June 1, 2023

This is a reminder that the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) will be closing the CCE application portal on Thursday, June 1, 2023 at 5:00 p.m. PST unless funds are exhausted sooner. All interested applicants are strongly encouraged to submit their funding applications in the application portal by that deadline. Based on available funding, we particularly encourage applications from tribal entities across the state as well as projects located in Los Angeles County, Sacramento Area, Central Coast, and the Balance of State regions; counties in these regions are listed below and on page 8 of the CCE Request for Applications (RFA).  

You may reach out to CDSS at housing@dss.ca.gov before the June 1st deadline if you are a tribal entity seeking to apply for CCE funds or your project is located in one of the aforementioned areas with available funding but you are unable to submit your application in the portal by the June 1st deadline.  

CDSS will continue to review and award projects on a rolling basis. After June 1, 2023, CDSS will consider all application submissions and any project proposals that applicants have engaged with CDSS on before determining next steps for distribution of any remaining CCE funding.
