Applicants Eligible for this Grant: Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)
Additional Information on Eligibility: In this program, an eligible applicant is a multijurisdictional and multi sector partnership consisting of a consortium of government entities and non-profit partners. FY2010 Lead applicant recipients of the Sustainable Communities Regional Planning Grant Program are not eligible for awards under the FY2011 program. An application that covers a geography covered by a FY2010 recipient of the Sustainable Communities Regional Planning Grant Program is ineligible.

In such instances the new applicant can plan for their region, but cannot plan for the areas under tribal authority.
Grant Description: The Sustainable Communities Regional Planning Grant Program (Program) supports metropolitan and multijurisdictional planning efforts that integrate housing, land use, economic and workforce development, transportation, and infrastructure investments in a manner that empowers jurisdictions to consider the interdependent challenges of: (1) economic competitiveness and revitalization; (2) social equity, inclusion, and access to opportunity; (3) energy use and climate change; and (4) public health and environmental impact. The Program places a priority on investing in partnerships, including nontraditional partnerships (e.g., arts and culture, recreation, public health, food systems, regional planning agencies and public education entities) that translate the Livability Principles (Section I.C.1) into strategies that direct long-term development and reinvestment, demonstrate a commitment to addressing issues of regional significance, use data to set and monitor progress toward performance goals, and engage stakeholders and residents in meaningful decision-making roles.
