Communities with MVP plans dated December 2018 and earlier must also have applied to the MVP Planning 2. 0grant in 2023, 2024, or 2025.

Such eligible entities should apply for projects that align with priorities in an MVP-approved municipal climate resilience plan and should also include a letter of support from the municipality/ies related to the project. Tribal governments are also eligible. All projects are required to provide monthly updates, project deliverables, and a brief project case study communicating lessons learned.
