SUMMARY:Community Engagement for Housing: Changing Hearts and Minds\, Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Many planners find that when it comes to housing projects\, the traditional engagement process does not draw a representative section of the community and\, as a result\, does not produce recommendations that meet the community’s needs\, or the goals expressed in the adopted master plan. This session identifies the groups who are consistently struggling to find housing across the state\, helping communities design engagement practices that can better reach them. It also explores ways to bring housing advocates\, and their deep knowledge of housing needs and proven solutions\, into the public conversation. \nOnline reference book is included. \nThis is a virtual event. \nPresenter:  Leah DuMouchel\, AICP\, Michigan Association of Planning \nRegister for the Community Engagement for Housing Webinar

SUMMARY:Use by Right and Administrative Approvals Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Permitting uses by right and implementing administrative approvals can connect a community vision that is based on meaningful community engagement and articulated in a plan with more appropriate zoning review processes\, creating more opportunities for investment and growth. This session discusses ways to shift responsibility for administrative development decisions toward the administrative professionals\, freeing up elected and appointed officials to set policy and develop broad guidance while reducing gratuitous friction in the review process. \nPresenter:  Amy Vansen\, AICP\, Michigan Association of Planning \nVirtual Event \nRegister for the Use by Right and Administrative Approvals Webinar
