What is the CAB? 

The Community Advisory Board (CAB) guides RICCE (Rooted in Comunidad, Cultivating Equity), a community-led initiative that funds climate-resilient projects in San Diego’s Historic Barrios. To learn more about RICCE, click here.

Made up of local residents, workers, and community stakeholders, the CAB ensures that projects are shaped by and for the neighborhoods they serve: Barrio Logan, Logan Heights, Sherman Heights, Stockton, Shelltown, Southcrest, Mount Hope, and Grant Hill. The CAB is composed of a minimum of 11 and a maximum of 19 members.

How does the CAB work? 

  • Community-Led Oversight: Offers ongoing feedback during implementation 
  • Responsive to Local Needs: Ensures priorities reflect community values 
  • Quarterly Meetings: Meets quarterly to evaluate progress and provides recommendations on projects
