Resilience Policy Toolkit

The Resilience Policy Toolkit is a climate-focused companion to our Miami Housing Policy Toolkit, outlining creative strategies and policies to equitably address the resilient future of Miami's affordable housing stock. In this toolkit we investigate climate-related policies and programs that were successfully implemented in other U.S. cities to integrate with parallel goals and approaches locally. The intention is for this toolkit to spark conversation about effective strategies to protect and strengthen Miami's most vulnerable communities

Extreme Heat Policy Toolkit

The Extreme Heat Policy Toolkit addresses the impacts of extreme heat, particularly on historically marginalized populations, on Miami’s affordable housing and low-income populations. Planning solutions from across the country were compiled in this tool to better equip communities and decision makers with information and solutions that could improve local responsiveness to the various effects of rising heat.

Communications Toolkit

The communications toolkit will provide a roadmap for other cities to reproduce the work we've done over several years to cultivate community- driven data, mapping, and policy tools related to housing affordability and climate impacts. The Community Urban Resilience Toolkit will outline strategies for identifying key partners, cultivating relationships, accessing data, securing funding, and creating mapping tools and other resources that can help cities collaboratively address urban resilience challenges.
