Connecticut Insurance Department CID, in Collaboration with First Street Foundation, provides climate related risk mapping tool for Connecticut residents.  This tool allows users to search Connecticut property addresses to view maps and reports that provide detailed property-specific climate risk assessments, particularly for flood, wildfire, extreme heat, and hurricane wind hazards. This free risk mapping tool allows homeowners, home buyers, small-business owners, and community leaders to identify the risks using state-of-the-art climate risk mapping technology.

The Funders Network (TFN) has launched a new pilot funding opportunity that will leverage infrastructure funds to train and expand career pathways for local workers in critical industries. The Partners for Places Jobs and Inclusive Infrastructure Initiative is aimed at supporting communities with investments and technical expertise to effectively implement equitable infrastructure projects. This funding is not for the physical infrastructure itself, but for the human infrastructure needed to create meaningful collaborations and center community engagement.

Supports the development of urban agriculture and innovative production activities by funding Planning Projects and Implementation Projects led by nonprofit organizations, local or Tribal governments, and schools.
