Purpose
In this activity, you will identify and pursue potential funding streams available at the local, regional, state, and national levels to implement priority resilience strategies and more broadly support resilience work in your community.
Why?
Regardless of implementation procedures or planning mechanisms used, resilience strategies must be funded. Sources of funding and financing can include local general funds, bonds, taxes, assessments, fees, grants, private sector partnerships or investments, non-profit grants, and partnerships, among others.
When?
Funding resources may be identified during Step 4 while selecting and evaluating potential resilience strategies; however, this is also likely to be an ongoing process as new funding opportunities become available over the lifespan of the relevant plans and projects.
How does my community do this?
