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 outcome-based risk management education projects that are designed to help agricultural producers learn and use tools and approaches that can reduce the adverse effects of the uncertainties of weather, yields, prices, credit, government policies, global markets, and other factors, including human resources and legal issues, that may result in wide swings in farm income or threaten the economic viability of farms and ranches. This program is intended to enhance farm and ranch profitability and viability by enabling producers to successfully manage these risks.
