Planners have seen lots of changes to federal level programs and funding that are essential for planning work happening at the local, state, and regional levels. In this session, APA will provide expert insights about the latest guidance out of HUD and the Trump Administration, what APA is doing in response to support and advocate for the planning profession, and a forecast into the future of planning-related federal programs. Then, we'll dive into what you can do as a planner to make sure your community is prepared and ways to make your voice heard at the national level.
