?? Happening Today! ?? Construction will start on Sacramento's first community resilience center! ?? The California Strategic Growth Council, Office of the Governor - California, California Department of Food and Agriculture, partners from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), City of Sacramento, County of Sacramento, and community leaders from across the area will celebrate the groundbreaking of the first ever #ClimateResiliency center in the Capital City! The La Familia Counseling Center, Inc. will break ground at the site of its future Opportunity Center/Resilience Hub on the corner of 37th Avenue and Franklin Boulevard in South Sacramento. Once constructed, the new building is set to serve as a cooling center during #ExtremeHeat events, while also providing supportive resources like career training, parenting workshops, and healthcare services to residents year-round. “From federal grants to local support, every layer of government has come together to ensure South Sacramento has the resources it needs to thrive in the face of climate challenges. Biggest thanks to La Familia’s Executive Director, Rachel Ríos, and her staff for having the vision and fortitude to tackle income inequality, opportunity, and climate change all at once. #Together, we are building a resilient and empowered Sacramento for generations to come." - Sacramento Mayor, Darrell Steinberg La Familia has received support from county, state, and federal leaders to expand services at the Opportunity Center/Resilience Hub and surrounding neighborhood – this includes $5 million from a CDFA grant, $2 million from the California Department of Public Health, $750,000 from U.S. Housing and Urban Development, and $1 million from the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors. They are also part of the first wave of community projects to receive grant writing assistance for their EPA grant from SGC’s Connecting Communities Initiative, a program announced in November 2023 to help local partners statewide access historic federal funding made available through the Inflation Reduction Act. ?? Congrats, La Familia!
