Last week the Department of Transportation (DOT) launched its
Thriving Communities Program, a $30 million collaboration
between DOT and HUD to help communities access
once-in-a-generation levels of federal infrastructure funding
under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and deliver
transformative projects.
The program will pair a cohort of applicants with organizations
who will provide technical assistance, planning, and capacity
building support to grow community capacity to take projects from
conception through to delivery. The program is focused on
supporting under-resourced and disadvantaged urban, rural and
Tribal communities.
DOT will be hosting a series of webinars for both those
interested in receiving support through the program, and for
capacity builders interested in applying for funding under the
Notice of Funding Opportunity. Interested communities are
encouraged to submit a Letter of Interest (LOI) prior to December
6, with the NOFO for capacity builders open until November 22.
Fact sheets and links to webinar registration are available on
the Thriving Communities webpage
here.
