Central
Valley Grant Technical Assistance Cohort
In
partnership with the Energy Efficiency Best Practices
Coordinator (BPC), Local Government Commission (LGC), and
Institute for Local Governments (ILG), ICLEI will be hosting a
structured technical assistance program in June for 5-8 local
governments in the Central Valley on energy and grants. Aimed
at local governments in the Central Valley with high
proportions of DACs, the program will help build capacity for agencies
through planning an energy project and coaching them through
completing funding applications. The program will guide
agencies through resources provided by the state and the public
utilities, best practices on community engagement, case studies
on successful collaborative community and local government
projects, and grant writing.
