Watch the CSAC Grants Initiative’s New Webinar on Federal Transportation and Water Funding

July 6, 2023

On June 29, 2023, more than 70 leaders, managers, and staff from 30 different California counties joined the CSAC Grants Initiative for Building Stronger Communities: Leveraging Federal Grants for County Infrastructure. Our June webinar—which followed our homelessness and housing grants webinar from March—provided CSAC members with insights on federal water and transportation funding.

If you or your colleagues missed it you can use the links below to watch or share a specific section or the entire event. And if you or your colleagues end up with questions on a specific grant or need technical grant assistance then please click here to use our CSAC-sponsored Office Hours.

Using our Office Hours (which we used to call our Project Idea Portal) is as simple as filling out a brief form and scheduling a free consulting call with our grants team. They’ll use the call to understand your needs and follow up by providing grant guidance, examples of successful applications, and other resources, as appropriate and available.
