APA Florida is relaunching its community-focused initiative known as the Community Planning Assistance Team (CPAT) and is looking for planning professionals who want to help. This program is designed to provide no-cost, professional planning support to Florida communities that may lack the financial resources to pursue critical development or revitalization projects on their own.

Through CPAT, volunteer teams of experienced planners — representing a range of disciplines — partner with local leaders, stakeholders, and residents to tackle real-world challenges. Whether the issue is economic development, housing, transportation, or land use, CPAT teams work directly with communities to develop actionable strategies that reflect local values and priorities.
