Regional Energy and Climate Hubs (REACH) are administered by the California Climate & Energy Collaborative (CCEC), a neutral statewide entity. As REACH Administrator, it convenes and coordinates community serving organizations in the region, helps community serving organizations document and communicate needs to the state, and leverage their capacity and resources. REACH is an extension of the State and Local Energy and Climate Coordination (SLECC) effort led by CCEC with facilitation support by the Strategic Growth Council.

The goals of REACH are to:

• Help identify, document, and map a comprehensive and cumulative understanding of the region’s priorities, needs, challenges, and landscape of stakeholders and assistance providers that can be used guide effective State and regional efforts (through discussions and activities).
• More easily access and inform specific, active State input opportunities on relevant policy, programs and projects, ensuring more inclusive, actionable and participatory decision-making (through State-led breakouts)
• Exchange knowledge, best practices, and successes about community-driven efforts through Region-led breakouts.
• Gain awareness of and access to available State and regional funding, incentive, or technical opportunities – or suitable participants for your programs and services (through our assistance lounge and guide).
• Help develop a bold statewide solution that addresses challenges communities face in accessing sustained funding and assistance for priority projects with less capacity extracted away from action (through discussions and activities)
• Build or deepen collaborative relationships among State and community-serving organizations that can innovate, replicate, or scale up the region’s promising efforts (through networking and ongoing communication opportunities)
