IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ALL CONSOLIDATED PLAN GRANTEES (CDBG, HOME, HOPWA, AND ESG GRANTEES)
On Wednesday August 1 at 4pm ET, the Office of Community Planning and Development (CPD) will host a one-hour webinar demonstrating how grantees can use the eCon Planning Suite to enhance their efforts to engage in meaningful Citizen Participation and Consultation.
Have you ever held a public hearing where no one came or held a public comment period that received no comments? Some grantees struggle to generate interest in the Consolidated Planning process. During this presentation, participants will learn about:
-
How each of the components of the eCon Planning Suite provides resources to support the Citizen Participation and Consultation processes.
-
Using the eCon Planning Suite to identify needs, present priorities to the public and other stakeholders, and soliciting feedback.
-
A case study for using CPD maps to increase engagement in the Consolidated Planning process.
-
Tips and ideas for innovative outreach strategies.
-
What’s coming in an accompanying toolkit, which will be available in August.
