Letter of Intent 

A letter of intent is a request from the applicant for DTSC to post a public notice with their intent to apply.  

Applicants first must submit the letter of intent to DTSC_TAGprogram@dtsc.ca.gov. DTSC will process the letter and create a public notice. The public notice requires a 15 day posting period. All competing letters of intents must be submitted within the 15 day posting period. After the 15 day posting period, interested groups will have 30 days to submit applications. If your application is not submitted within 30 days, but you are still interested in applying, the public notice period will restart and the public notice will be reposted by DTSC.

You may contact a group located your community to discuss working together to submit one application to DTSC as a coalition or submit your own letter of intent.

Only one grant will be awarded per site. If multiple groups are interested in applying in a TAG for the same site, DTSC encourages groups to collaborate and apply together. If the applicants decide to submit separately, DTSC will rank the applications based on scoring criteria.
