Planning Resources
Habitat Partnership Committees are designed to facilitate local decision making regarding wildlife habitat issues and improvements, and act as a vehicle for partnership development and communication between private, state, and federal entities. Creating partnerships between habitat improvement proponents and potential funding programs or funding organizations is a major focus of the Arizona Habitat Partnership Committee program.
decision making regarding wildlife habitat
The HPC application period opens Aug. 1 of each year, and proposals are due Sept. 1. Annual funding fluctuates, but there is generally around $2,500,000 available for selected projects. Proposals submitted outside this time frame will not be accepted.
