Environmental responsibilities under NEPA and other authorities have been delegated by 24CFR58 to local governments for many HUD programs, such as CDBG, HOME, subsidized and public housing. This first time on the web course uses exercises and an interactive simulation to reach participants & train them to conduct environmental reviews, briefs them on more recent and relevant environmental issues such as sustainability, & raises the awareness and commitment to environmental issues.

How It Works:

Prior to the first session, you will receive an access code and instructions to go to a website. You will also receive a headset to connect to your computer so that you will be able to participate in interactive activities.
