Primavera Awarded $19.9M EPA Grant to Increase Community Resilience in the Face of Climate Change

Primavera Awarded $19.9M EPA Grant to Increase Community Resilience in the Face of Climate Change Primavera Foundation has been awarded a $19.9M grant from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the?Environmental and Climate Justice Block Grant Program?for projects that will increase community resilience in the face of climate change. The project will benefit disadvantaged communities in City of Tucson and South Tucson, which face inequitable challenges related to climate change. “We are honored to bring additional resources into Tucson and South Tucson to increase community resilience in the face of climate change,”?said Primavera CEO Tisha Tallman. “The resources will directly benefit disadvantaged and marginalized communities who are adversely and disproportionately impacted by climate change." “Along with our partnership sub-award recipients, including our statutory partner, the City of Tucson, we look forward to being a part of paving the way forward for a resilient Tucson and beyond,” Tallman said. “We thank Congressman Raúl Grijalva for his tireless advocacy and efforts to ensure all are considered and accounted for during these challenging climate times.” The grant will enable the Primavera Foundation and partners, including the City of Tucson, to install rainwater harvesting systems, provide energy assessments and retrofits for energy efficiency to low-income households, and promote climate resilience and community health through education and outreach, remediating and mitigating sources of pollution in low-income neighborhoods.

It was a pleasure to sit down with Celia and the Primavera team alongside my Tucson teammates to discuss how we can partner and support each other. It's wonderful to see our shared commitment to bridging the gap of homeownership. Primavera provides pathways out of poverty through safe, affordable housing, workforce development, and neighborhood revitalization. They promote economic and social justice while working towards a future where everyone has basic human rights, a livable income, and safe, affordable housing. I look forward to working together to make a positive impact in our community. Marilyn Burgos
