NACo’s Counties for Housing Solutions will provide free virtual technical assistance to help counties assess and update their zoning codes to increase affordable housing development and overall housing supply. These fast-paced technical assistance sprints are designed to be high-intensity and implementation-focused, with a county being on track to formally adopt an amendment to their zoning code at the conclusion of the sprint.
The purpose of this program is to support the development, improvement, and/or implementation of emergency planning activities for state, tribal, county, and local juvenile justice residential facilities. For the purposes of this program, an emergency is defined as an incident, whether natural, technological, or man-made, that requires a response to protect life, property, or the environment. Ultimately, the program is intended to improve facilities' ability to respond to and recover from incidents. The objectives of this program are to ensure the safety and well-being of youth and staff and strengthen facility preparedness to maintain the efficient continuation of operations and reduce risk to the physical structure.
