The Council awarded Planning Grants to 11 low-income, disadvantaged, rural, unincorporated, and tribal communities across the State. The Community Resilience Centers Program Planning Grant funding will support communities in developing plans for future implementation or operation of neighborhood-level community resilience center facilities and related programming. Selected projects will address community-voiced goals of energy independence, workforce development, food security, emergency response, and tribal sovereignty. The Community Resilience Centers will work toward these community-identified priorities year-round, in addition to providing respite during climate and other emergencies.
