Resilience Academies Report

Many affordable housing organizations are acutely aware of the environmental threats to their properties – and how those threats could adversely affect residents’ safety and security. But often, housing providers lack the capacity and resources to address them head on.

Enterprise supports affordable housing owners, operators and developers through regional Climate Resilience Academies that provide geographically focused solutions to address critical vulnerabilities, along with individualized technical assistance for integrating community engagement and resilience strategies.

This report provides an overview of the Academies and a discussion of interim findings and lessons learned. It also highlights six participating organizations, and considers next steps as the remainder of the program is implemented and evaluated.
