Land Use Planning for Climate Change
September 30, 2022 | 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. (Webinar)
Vermont’s Climate Action Plan calls for an all hands approach and identifies a wide range of actions that municipalities can lead on, especially with respect to our pattern of land use and how that affects both mitigation and adaptation. It can be overwhelming to understand where to begin and what tools might be most helpful. In this session, participants will learn about a range of land use planning tools that can be used to address climate change and some examples of how they’ve been employed.

HUD’s Funding Opportunity to Address Unsheltered and Rural Homelessness
September 14, 2022 | 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. (Webinar)
In June 2022 HUD announced the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program Supplemental Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to Address Unsheltered and Rural Homelessness (Special NOFO), which makes $322 million in competitive funding available to communities to address unsheltered and rural homelessness. This funding opportunity includes a $54.5 million set aside for communities in rural areas.
Funding is available for permanent housing, street outreach efforts and other supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS). CoCs will need to demonstrate a comprehensive community approach to reduce homelessness among people experiencing homelessness with severe service needs, especially those with histories of unsheltered homelessness. Applications must be submitted by October 20, 2022, at 8:00 PM EDT. For more information about this Special NOFO please visit HUD’s Special NOFO site.
This webinar with HUD is to discuss this funding opportunity as well as other ways to work with CoCs to address homelessness in your communities.
No registration required. Please click on this link to join. The webinar will be capped at 1,000 attendees. Attendees are encouraged to sign in at least 5 minutes before the webinar start time.
