Serving the Pacific Southwest

The Environmental Finance Center (EFC) at Sacramento State serves state and local governments, tribal communities, and the private sector in EPA Region 9 (California, Arizona, Nevada, Hawaii, and Pacific territories). We assist these entities in building the capacity to fund drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater projects and programs, as well as plan for future needs as regulations, technology, and resources change.

The EFC is operated by the Office of Water Programs (OWP). For over 50 years, OWP has provided cost-effective solutions for protecting and enhancing water resources, public health, and the environment through training, scientific research, and public education.
