Description
The Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Implementation Program, administered by the California Department of Housing & Community Development (HCD), provides loans and grants to support the development of affordable housing and related infrastructure in proximity to public transit. The program is designed to reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT), promote location-efficient development, and prioritize projects that increase transit ridership and align with California’s climate and land use goals. Funding is available for both new construction and rehabilitation of affordable housing, as well as for infrastructure that directly supports such housing.
