Final Disadvantaged Communities (DAC) 2023

The Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) directs the Climate Justice Working Group (CJWG) to establish criteria for defining disadvantaged communities. This dataset identifies areas throughout the State that meet the final disadvantaged community definition as voted on by the Climate Justice Working Group.

The tracts will receive a minimum 35% of "overall benefits of spending" on clean energy and energy efficiency programs.
