Hello CEDP Partners and Friends, 

Last week at the CEDP All Partner Meeting we started the discussion of partnering together for further learning conversations, resource sharing, and accountability of community engagement strategies within our neighborhoods.

Currently, we are in the development phase of what this process will look like and some creative ideas have been outlining annual goals, hosting discussions within our CEDP groups, and/or using a portion of our CEDP All Partner meetings to conduct community engagement workgroup sessions together! This community engagement strategy will be a part of the sustainability plan for CEDP and remain a key value of this partnership. 

Please mark your calendar for our next CEDP All Partner Meeting on Dec 7 at 10 AM and join these foundational conversations! 

Warmly, 


Andi Lambert
CEDP Project Manager

HOUSING GROUP OPPORTUNITY

Beginning in 2023, the Thriving Communities Program will provide technical assistance, planning, and capacity-building support to teams of community partners that may lack the staffing or technical expertise to scope, fund, and develop infrastructure projects that advance broader community goals.

TCP will provide two years of deep-dive assistance to selected communities to help them plan and develop a pipeline of comprehensive transportation, housing, and community revitalization activities.


Using a wide range of eligible activities, HUD expects TA awardees under this NOFO to focus on assisting UGLGs in the following four areas:
a) Identifying and using vacant, abandoned, or underutilized land located on or near transportation projects that is suitable for housing development to create location-efficient housing.
b) Preserving affordable housing and protecting residents and businesses from displacement as new infrastructure is deployed.
c) Identifying and implementing regulatory and procedural reforms to reduce unnecessary barriers to location-efficient housing that impede housing production and increase development costs. d) Improving coordination both among public entities
