The Team is excited to share financial and technical assistance resource information with you and provide an opportunity for your community to develop a vision for housing and establish local housing priorities. 

The workshops will highlight:

 

  • Assistance with matching innovative and existing financial resources with new housing development and rehabilitation projects locally.

 

  • Sub-regional housing five-year goals

 

  • Examples of small community housing development implementation

 

 

  • Group activities to identify local housing priorities and action steps

 

After the workshop an informal technical assistance session will be available for communities and developers…bring along your project ideas!
