FundingDWR's 2026 draft Proposal Solicitation Package states $228,200,000 available for the solicitation. Final award structure remains subject to the final controlling solicitation.
DeadlineVerification Hold. The California Grants Portal lists October 21, 2026 at 5:00 p.m., but DWR's current program page still says final Guidelines and a final Proposal Solicitation Package will be released after review of comments, and the currently accessible draft PSP contains a placeholder deadline. Do not use a deadline for outreach until the final DWR solicitation confirms the exact date and time zone.
Required next actionMonitor the California DWR DSCR program page for release of final 2026 Program Guidelines and the final Proposal Solicitation Package. Before publication or ORIGINAL outreach, verify exact deadline/time zone, eligible applicant and dam-owner requirements, local cost-share and hardship-reduction rules, required forms and technical attachments, submission mechanics, allowable costs, scoring, amendments, and current open status.
