Urban Heat Mitigation Grant Program
This act aims to establish a grant program to help cities combat excessive urban heat. Funds will be used for planting trees, creating cool pavements and roofs, and building cooling centers, improving comfort and safety for residents, especially in underserved communities.
Key points
Financial support for cities to implement measures reducing urban heat, such as tree planting and cool surfaces.
Prioritization for lower-income communities and areas with less tree cover, which are most vulnerable to heat impacts.
Enables the creation of cooling centers and public education on heat-related risks.
