Department Information

The Strategic Growth Council (SGC) is a Cabinet-level state organization that coordinates and works collaboratively across state government and with public agencies, communities, and stakeholders to achieve sustainability, equity, economic prosperity, and quality of life for all Californians. SGC programs include Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC), Sustainable Agriculture Lands Conservation (SALC), Transformative Climate Communities (TCC), Climate Change Research (CCR), Community Assistance for Climate Equity (CACE), and Health and Equity Program (HEP) - which is part of a multi-agency Health in All Policies (HiAP) Initiative. SGC is a fast-paced, creative work environment that requires staff to have strong collaboration skills, an ability to quickly respond to changing policy needs, and a positive attitude and sense of humor.

California's Health in All Policies Initiative works with more than 20 state agencies to incorporate health, equity, and environmental sustainability into decision-making across sectors to improve the social and material conditions that drive health. The HiAP approach offers a guide and filter to strengthen existing programs by enhancing collaboration, engage diverse stakeholders, and broaden their impact so that the same dollars serve multiple state goals.

California's HiAP initiative began in 2009 as a public-private partnership. The Health and Equity Program at SGC is an extension of this work and represents the first state-funded SGC positions to support the statewide HiAP initiative.
