Urban Heat Mitigation Grant Program Act of 2025
This new act aims to reduce the negative impacts of urban heat, especially in lower-income neighborhoods. Through grants, communities can plant trees, create cool roofs, and establish cooling centers, improving residents' comfort and health. This will directly lead to lower energy bills and better well-being during hot weather.
Key points
Grants will be available for projects that reduce heat, such as tree planting, green roofs, and the creation of heat shelters.
At least 75% of the funds will go to high-poverty communities most vulnerable to heat effects.
The act aims to improve public health, reduce energy costs, and enhance urban living comfort, especially for those most in need.
