A third round of the Long Island Sound (LIS) Resilience Planning Support Program is now open! Up to $1.5 million is available.

Expressions of Interest will be accepted through January 30 and you must set up a call with your regional SRC extension professional to discuss your project before February 6, 2026 in order to be considered. Apply today!

The program provides planning support for sustainability and resilience-focused projects by matching Long Island Sound communities with qualified contractors. These contractors help assess local environmental risks, conceptualize project ideas, and conduct other preliminary planning tasks to prepare communities for future funding opportunities to advance their projects toward implementation. The support is provided at no cost and no match is required!

Visit the Assistance Programs page on our LIS Resilience Resource Hub for all the details and to read about the projects supported through the 1st and 2nd round of the program.
