Mission

The primary exempt purpose of the Center for Sustainable Communities is to provide project management, research, and technical assistance to help redevelop communities, particularly those that have been historically marginalized or disproportionately affected by climate change. We partner with residents to conduct community-based participatory research (CBPR), identify local climate priorities, and co-develop targeted strategies to reduce disproportionate climate impacts.
