Challenge/Local/State

Description

State Solution
(Type of Activity: Program Implementation and Outreach )

The state should deploy direct household resilience retrofit programs funding cooling, electrification, energy resilience, and wildfire-hardening upgrades for low-income households (incorporating cost-containment measures to prevent tenant pass-throughs) and should support locally tailored delivery mechanisms such as doctor-prescribed air purifiers and respiratory health technology for communities facing the worst air quality and heat burdens. 

Existing Examples of Progress: The Extreme Heat and Community Resilience Program (LCI) provides state-level funding for cooling infrastructure and local engagement projects, helping localities develop proactive adaptation measures
Region: San Joaquin Valley, Los Angeles, Inland Deserts, Statewide
