‘Build for the Future’ Summit 2024
On January 18, the CCRC and the Department of Urban and Regional Planning co-hosted a summit with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Department of Energy (DOE), Agriculture, Treasury, EPA, and more from the ‘federal family’. The event provided local developers, municipal leaders, non-profits, and more, with information about the ‘Build for the Future’ initiative, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) funding opportunities.
Build for the Future empowers local communities to undertake initiatives focused on climate resiliency, energy efficiency, renewable energy, and environmental justice. It achieves this by providing critical access to funding opportunities, offering guidance materials, and fostering peer-to-peer knowledge sharing. HUD’s website, linked at the button below, provides more information and resources, such as a funding navigator, resiliency toolkit, and solar readiness assessment.
The event had representatives from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Department of Energy (DOE), Department of Agriculture, Treasury, EPA, and the White House Climate Policy Office.
