Скачать или смотреть RCAP Implementation Workshop: Climate-Resilient Affordable Housing

Southeast Florida faces two considerable and interconnected challenges to the region’s shared prosperity, resilience, safety, and economic growth—climate change and affordable housing. The region is often cited as one of the most at-risk metro areas globally due to a changing climate. At the same time, according to 2020 data from the Shimberg Center for Housing Studies at the University of Florida, more than 750,000 low-income people (defined as having 80% of Area Median Income or lower) in the four-county region were paying more than 30% of their income in housing costs, which is considered unaffordable.

This workshop will explore the intersection of these dual crises and provide insights toward integrated, holistic strategies that address both challenges simultaneously and in ways that meet the needs of the most at-risk households.
