Apply for Free Technical Assistance

Livability Solutions, a partnership that includes Reconnecting America, is now taking applications for free technical assistance.

The Livability Solutions partnership is supported by a grant to the Project for Public Spaces from the US Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Sustainable Communities under their Building Blocks for Sustainable Communities Program. The Building Blocks program funds quick, targeted assistance to communities that face common development problems.

Livability Solutions will be offering workshops in six to 12 communities around the country, enabling local governments and stakeholders to implement changes that will advance them onthe road toward long term smart growth and sustainability.

The technical assistance will take the form of one- to two-day workshops in one or more of Livability Solutions' unique suite of livability tools. Each will be led by one or more of our experienced coalition members.

The application will be open until 8pm Eastern Nov. 22.

Applicants can be governments, government agencies, or non-profits, but a local government (elected officials or agency) must be involved in the technical assistance; the application instructions describe this eligibility.

Questions may be answered by going to the Livability Solutions website: www.livabilitysolutions.org.

Anyone interested in Livability Solutions preparing a workshop or series of workshops for their community, can contact livabilitysolutions@pps.org to explore the possibility on a fee-for-service basis or if they have another funder in mind.
