Payments for peatland ecosystem services in the Natural Environment White Paper
The document discusses opportunities for payments for ecosystem services (PES) schemes in the UK, noting they have potential to provide new financing streams for conservation if they can directly link those who benefit from ecosystem services to those who manage the land. Barriers to PES include informational, technical, financial, and institutional challenges, though none are insurmountable. Defra's work includes developing best practice guidance, funding pilot PES projects, and reviewing barriers and recommendations to support wider use of these schemes.

Technical Committee Chair's report by Dr Mohamed Ait-Kadi - CP meeting Day 1Global Water Partnership
The chair of the Technical Committee provided a report on the committee's activities in 2010-2011. Key points included:
1) Three new members were recruited and a "knowledge chain" concept was developed to better engage partners.
2) Priority thematic areas of equity/IWRM, climate change and water/food security, transboundary cooperation, and urban water management were identified.
3) Several publications and workshops were held addressing these themes, bringing together practitioners and policymakers from regions around the world.Towards a framework for peatland PES
1) Payments for ecosystem services (PES) is one option to correct market failures that cause ecosystems to be neglected, but it faces challenges in implementation related to additionality, conditionality, and voluntary provision.
2) While agri-environment schemes are similar to PES, they are limited in duration, not tied to actual ecosystem service values, and have high administrative costs.
3) For PES to work for peatland management in the UK, greater acceptance, market confidence, and better incentive structures are needed, including better spatial coordination and monitoring to ensure additional ecosystem services. The public sector has an important role to play in supporting PES market creation.

How can your community’s plan yield federal dollars?
“Planning for Future Funding: How to create a community comprehensive plan with federal funding in mind”
Thinking about federal grants when developing a comprehensive plan for your community can help you get a head start on successfully applying, submitting and receiving federal funding.
Detailed comprehensive plans and federal funding grants need some of the same elements to thrive. Writing about the vision for investing in a community’s empty brownfields, affordable housing and economic development needs, and health issues can serve as a platform in applying for federal grants. These aspirations, when effectively written and documented, can be used as the basis for grant applications. If a community identifies its needs as part of the planning process, it can, as part of a continuous proposal building process, pinpoint which grants will help meet those needs.
Federal grants are available for communities with an integrated vision for connecting economic development, community development, and environmental protection to create greater livability.
Illinois ResourceNet (IRN) and the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMPA) are working together on a series of free webinars to help communities strengthen their capacity to apply successfully for available federal funding opportunities.
In this webinar, “Planning for Funding: How to create a comprehensive plan with federal funding in mind,” Deborah Orr, EPA Region 5 Brownfields Coordinator, will moderate the session and explain why comprehensive community planning should be an integral part of the federal funding process.
Michael McAfee, Community Planning and Development Representative with HUD's Chicago office, will demonstrate how to use a comprehensive plan and the sustainable practices built into it to facilitate the continuous development of federal funding proposals.
Susan Kaplan, technical assistance provider for Illinois ResourceNet at the University of Illinois, will offer examples of how a community plan can be used to help identify relevant federal grant opportunities and develop persuasive grant applications.
Free Webinar held on Tuesday, August 3, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.

Future directions for land and resource conservation in California. Presentation I gave at UC Santa Cruz in 2013 regarding working lands conservation and opportunities for environmental markets
Advantages in Place: Federal Funding
This document discusses strategies for developing continuous grant proposals through place-based partnerships. It argues that collaborative networks can more successfully pursue federal grants over time by leveraging shared resources, building on past proposals, and linking diverse program areas. Examples are provided of federal grant opportunities that various partnerships, such as those in community development, human services, or workforce training, could pursue through coordinated two-year planning. Developing regional and community plans is presented as a way to identify potential matches between local strategies and federal programs.

Proud Ground provides permanently affordable homeownership through legal agreements that ensure homes can be resold at affordable prices, maintaining affordability over time. When a homeowner decides to sell, a resale formula allows them to receive a fair return on investment while keeping the home priced for low and moderate income buyers. Proud Ground homes operate like traditional homeownership with mortgages, equity accumulation, and tax benefits, but have much lower purchase prices in exchange for restricted resale values. The organization works with brokers and employers to promote the program.

This document summarizes the Morgan Woods affordable housing development project on Martha's Vineyard. Some key points:
1) Morgan Woods created 60 affordable housing units, nearly doubling the island's inventory, to house year-round residents who provide essential services but can no longer afford to live there.
2) The development overcame many logistical challenges to transport modular units by barge and complete construction efficiently. Thoughtful design has created a family-friendly community environment.
3) The success of Morgan Woods has helped the developer, The Community Builders, build a strong reputation on the Cape and Islands and take on additional affordable housing projects.
Robert Clifford BWH Boston 2011
The document discusses housing affordability in the context of the recent housing crisis. It makes three key points:
1) While falling home prices have led to record housing affordability levels, most households entered the downturn already facing high housing costs and few can take advantage of lower prices.
2) Measures of housing affordability and burden show that affordability has only improved to early 2000 levels and many households, especially low- and moderate-income, still face high housing costs.
3) The housing affordability problem is particularly acute in Massachusetts compared to other markets. Most households cannot benefit from lower home prices due to existing high housing cost burdens.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
