As founding president of Resilient Cities! in 2020, I led this 501(c)(3) in securing public-official support for additional funding for Rebuild by Design and similar flood-risk reduction projects funded by HUD. Secretary Marcia Fudge and Rep. Albio Sires voiced strong support in Hoboken, NJ on May 6, 2021.

Our educational efforts included producing four webinars on financing, saving flood-prone historic districts, stormwater utility revenue and property-conveyance fee revenue. Here are the links:
