Planning Grant Program is intended to support local governments in planning for sustainable growth and development patterns and affordable housing into the future.
This program provides planning grants to help communities align policies and regulations to locate affordable housing in infill locations near jobs, transit, and everyday services; ensure new neighborhoods have housing of all types, sizes, and price points; and direct housing to areas with access to multimodal transportation options.
Planning Grant Funding Awards The Planning Grant Program expects that communities that are awarded a grant will adopt one or more of the strategies from our list of land use best practices. Go to the Land Use Best Practices page for a list of the practices, as well as webinars, instructional videos, and case studies. Review the documents below for additional information.

Both projects pull rare earths from industrial waste — red mud at the Gramercy refinery in Louisiana, and a mix of mine and refining tailings elsewhere. Here is what the selections tell researchers, small businesses, and downstream magnet customers about where DOE thinks the chokepoint actually is, and what to do before the next demonstration-scale solicitation opens.
