Project for Public Spaces and our partners at Livability Solutions are pleased to announce the nine communities selected to receive free technical assistance in 2015, thanks to a grant to Project for Public Spaces from the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Office of Sustainable Communities under their Building Blocks for Sustainable Communities Program. Each recipient will receive a one- or two-day workshop with one of our Livability Solutions partners to tackle a particular sustainable communities challenge or opportunity in their community.
The nine selected applicants represent a diverse group of communities from across the United States, from large cities to rural communities. All have a strong commitment to sustainability and smart growth and are poised to implement positive change through the assistance we are offering. This year, we placed an even greater emphasis on prioritizing high needs communities, in order to help areas struggling with serious economic, environmental, health, and other challenges.
Livability Solutions is a coalition of professionals from 10 leading nonprofit organizations with deep experience in sustainable development. Our common purpose is to work with communities on transportation, land use, Placemaking, environmental and health issues, and public engagement, in order to improve livability, smart growth, and sustainability outcomes.
The communities selected for free technical assistance in 2015, along with the Livability Solutions partner and tool that they have been matched with, are:
EPA’s Office of Sustainable Communities provides some of this assistance directly and also funds the free technical assistance programs of two other nonprofit organizations: Smart Growth America and Global Green.
We encourage interested communities to continue to check the Livability Solutions website for additional opportunities for technical assistance. We also welcome interested foundations, organizations, and individuals to contact us if they are interested in supporting assistance to one of the many other qualified applications we received.
