with community members and decision makers to foster community education, engagement, and empowerment. Communities facing a range of challenges including, but not limited to, social equity and affordability, economic development, sustainability, consensus
building, and urban design are well-suited for assistance through the program. Projects focus on localities with a demonstrated need for assistance, where planning resources and expertise may not otherwise be available. Expert teams are selected for the specific
expertise needed on the project and offer pro bono assistance in developing a framework or vision plan that promotes a sustainable, livable, economically vibrant, and healthy community. The CPAT initiative is accepting applications through June 5 from communities
seeking planning-related assistance. A $50 application fee is required.
