Planning Collaboratives

Planning Collaboratives

Planning Collaboratives are county-based groups of jurisdictions that share consulting resources as they work together to address their housing priorities. Planning Collaboratives are staffed by consultants who work with ABAG to complement technical assistance offered at the state and regional levels and to deliver tailored trainings and products to each jurisdiction. ABAG is providing funding to support the following Collaboratives through 2023.
