Annual Meeting
In advance of the COVID-19 disaster declaration, we would encourage potential applicants to participate on one of the upcoming webinars to learn the Grants Portal. Please forward this email to all of your towns and any Critical Private non-profits in your area.
The Grants Portal is an online program where FEMA and Applicants work together to create a grant for COVID-19 to be reimbursed for emergency protective measure related costs for Public Assistance.
This webinar will instruct applicants on how to register and set up a new account, how to apply for Public Assistance, how to upload documents and how to navigate the system throughout the grants process.

It’s Button Up season – time to start thinking about weatherization and the great incentives that Efficiency Vermont has to offer. Is your Energy Committee interested in participating in the 2020 Button Up Vermont Campaign? Sign up here and help spread the word about Button Up to your neighbors. The 2020 Button Up campaign has a lot to offer, including:
- Weatherization Wednesdays: weekly webinars featuring trivia, Q&As, DIY-videos, and tips for weatherization.
- Free Virtual Home Energy Visits: residents in participating communities can sign up for a virtual visit from a home energy expert at Efficiency Vermont, while appointments are available.
- Regional Weatherization Trainings: TRORC and other Regional Planning Commissions are hosting custom webinars with special information for your communities. Register for TRORC’s training on November 18 at 12:00 PM.
- Button Up Vermont Share the Warmth Campaign: working with the Vermont Community Foundation, the Button Up campaign has established a way to donate to weatherization projects for low income Vermonters. Invite your neighbors to support energy and financial security in Vermont.

While mid-century cars and clothing are cool, would you be surprised to know that the zoning in most communities is from the same era? Did you know that local solutions to housing affordability, community revitalization, climate change, and social justice are often stymied by policy decisions made in the 1970s? A lot has changed since then, from infrastructure spending, to household composition, to consumer preferences – but a lot of Vermont’s mid-century zoning bylaws aren’t keeping up with the times.
Many Vermonters are not getting the outcomes they urgently need because the cumbersome and costly process of overhauling a zoning bylaw is out of reach for most cities and towns. This training will help local leaders identify and select small-scale, incremental changes that can be made without having to overhaul all the zoning bylaws.
The training is built upon Enabling Better Places: Zoning for Great Neighborhoods, a how-to manual that promotes practical, small steps that Vermont’s cities, towns and villages can take to address widespread regulatory barriers that limit the choice of homes available to Vermont residents at prices people can afford. This guide stems from the Congress of the New Urbanism’s (CNU) Project for Code Reform, a strategic initiative to support cities and towns as they reform outdated zoning bylaws in favor of more walkable communities.
