Resilience 21 Town Hall: Building Climate Safe Housing
Channel: R21 Climate Resilience
Date: 29/07/2021

Millions of households across the United States and affiliated Nations, lack climate safe and affordable housing amidst a historic affordable housing crisis.  Housing destroyed by flood, fire, drought, wind and earthquake risks threatens communities across the Nation. The Biden Administration is committing trillions of dollars of investment to develop and protect housing and fortify the critical infrastructure that supports housing. 

In our 2nd R21 Community Town Hall, we brought together practitioners from the R21 network to discuss how we define resilient housing, learn about leading edge resilient housing case studies in the US and share lessons that can be shared with the Biden administration's direction.
