Build for the Future: Federal Funding Navigator Training
Thursday, November 30, 2:30 - 4:00 pm, Virtual
Learn how to access federal funds with HUD's new Federal Funding Navigator called Build for the Future, which is a compilation of resources totaling billions of dollars in federal funding and tax credits from the Inflation Reduction Act; Funding Navigator - HUD Exchange. The Funding Navigator helps nonprofits, local governments, affordable housing providers, private citizens, tribes and companies learn about Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) programs and see where they can apply for billions of dollars in federal funding and tax credits in these areas: Energy Efficiency and Renewables, Resiliency, Transportation, Environmental Justice, Workforce Development, Broadband, Utility Scale Energy, Lead and Healthy Housing, Brownfields and Waste Management.
"As a part of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda potentially eligible entities will be able to sort funding resources based on audience, activity, funding type, location, and other items. The Funding Navigator helps participants maximize the utilization of IRA and BIL resources for carbon reduction and climate resilience efforts," (HUD press release, September 21, 2023). Although this tool was developed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, it features programs across all federal agencies.
The training will also cover the IRA’s new “Direct Pay” Provision (Direct Pay | Clean Energy | The White House) that makes clean energy tax credits available to nonprofits and local governments and review the IRA’s main programs like the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, Environmental Justice Programs, Conservation Programs, and Clean Energy Rebates.
The training will be conducted by Jennifer Gottlieb Elazhari, who is Detailed to HUD Climate Advisor, Alexis Pelosi.
