Join Northwest Hills Council of Governments (NHCOG) for their first 5th Thursday Event of 2023 — Affordable and Fair Housing Training for Municipal Land Use Officials.
Section 9 of Public Act 21-29 includes new requirements for the training of municipal land use officials. At least 1 hour out of the 4-hour biennial training requirement must cover Affordable and Fair Housing Policies. This 5th Thursdays forum will satisfy this training requirement and cover the following topics:
Municipal Land Use Planning and Zoning Responsibilities Under the Fair Housing Act
Zoning to Promote Diverse Housing Options
What is Affordable Housing, Who Needs It, and How Has It Evolved Over the Years?
Addressing Community Affordable Housing Needs with the Public
Panelists include Jocelyn Ayer, Director of Litchfield County Center for Housing Opportunity, and Sean Ghio, Senior Policy Advisor for Partnership for Strong Communities.
The event is hybrid, held simultaneously in-person and via Zoom (link here).
Please RSVP in advance.
