TROY (AP) — The Kresge Foundation says organizations in 12 U.S. cities will share nearly $8 million to help low-income communities deal with issues related to climate change.
The Troy-based foundation announced the funding last Thursday through its Climate Resilience and Urban Opportunity Initiative. Efforts include improving energy efficiency policies, disaster-preparedness plans and carbon-reduction strategies.
The organizations involved got planning grants in 2014. Kresge’s board this month approved $660,000, 3-year implementation grants for each group.
The organizations are in Boston; Cleveland; New York; Newark, New Jersey; Portland, Oregon; and San Antonio. They’re also in the California cities of Fresno, Los Angeles, National City and Oakland. Details about the organizations are posted on Kresge’s website.
