Description

Challenge

Homes in disadvantaged communities trap dangerous heat, leaving residents with few cooling options. Low-income tenants and homeowners often lack cooling systems and live in heat-island areas, making homes increasingly dangerous as extreme heat worsens. With limited resources to adapt, these communities face growing risks of heat illness and poor air quality.
