A recent report by the Urban Institute’s Housing Matters initiative explores the impacts of disinvestment from public housing on racial inequities and climate risk. The report shares demographic data about residents in public housing, climate risks to units and families, and local solutions to climate risks in New York, Seattle, and Boston. “Climate change will affect all communities, but it’ll be worse for communities with fewer social and economic resources to weather the storms,” explain the authors. “Residents of public housing are socially vulnerable, meaning they’re more likely to experience the negative impacts of climate-related hazards because they don’t have access to these resources.” Read the report here.
