From Yale Climate Connections:
The federal government requires all public housing to be heated to keep residents warm, but it does not require cooling. So during heat waves, people may be at risk of heat stroke and other heat-related illnesses, especially as the climate warms.
So Miami-Dade County has taken action on its own.
From KATU 2 Vancouver:
The City of Vancouver was awarded a million-dollar grant for affordable housing upgrades this week.
According to the city, the grant is from the Washington State Department of Commerce for energy efficiency upgrades in affordable housing.
The grant will be used to focus on high-efficiency appliance upgrades, siding repair, window replacement for increased insulation, air sealing and heat pump installations.
From HUD's press release:
From the Seattle Times:
Washington state will receive more than $156 million to launch programs to provide rooftop solar and other forms of solar energy to people with lower incomes and on the front lines of climate change.
The Environmental Protection Agency announced a total of $7 billion in grants Monday from the agency’s Solar for All grant competition. The program is funded by the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act.
