HomeMy WebLinkAboutBack-Up DocumentsC40 CITIES C40 Heat, Health, and Equity Challenge Fund Application Form The C40 Heat, Health, and Equity Challenge Fund is C40's response to the unmet needs of US cities as they navigate the challenges of extreme heat in the context of a climate crisis. The fund is intended to support city governments in the US to increase resilience to extreme heat by focusing on projects that improve health outcomes for those most vulnerable to extreme heat. The awarded projects will be a collection of innovative city practices, projects and policies to be institutionalized, or scaled in the future and ultimately replicated in other cities. We are especially interested in supporting projects that haven't been tried before or that cities are having trouble funding through their own budgets, with the intention that this funding could build evidence for cities to directly fund this project in future. The fund anticipates awarding four cities with direct support of between USD $50,000 and USD$70,000 to each grantee over a period of about 12 months, with the intention that projects will be implemented in the 2025 heat season. C40 will directly pay for activities proposed by cities. This means funds will not be distributed to city governments. Rather, C40 will directly procure the goods, services, and activities proposed by the cities on their behalf. (Please refer to the "Application Guidelines" for more information.) Cities will use this application form to outline in as much detail as possible their proposed projects, emphasizing how the project will improve resilience to extreme heat, and how the project will improve the resilience of those most impacted by extreme heat. Applications and all supporting attachments are due by the end of the day (11:59 pm in the city's time zone) on November 26, 2024, and grantees will be selected in December 2024. Please review our Application Guidelines for more information about the Heat, Health and Equity Challenge Fund. Please feel free to reach out to heat©c40.org with any further questions. 1 Application Form SECTION A: Basic Information OVERVIEW City Project Title Total amount requested (USD) Minimum USD$50,000 Maximum USD$70,000 CITY PROJECT CONTACT Miami, FL Compiling Data on Indoor and Outdoor Heat in Miami's Climate Justice Communities $68,691 City project lead name Sonia Brubaker Job title/position Chief Resilience Officer & Director Department Office of Resilience and Sustainability Email address sbrubaker@miami.gov Phone number (305) 416-1214 SECTION B: Project Details The purpose of this section is to understand your project concept and how it addresses heat, health and equity. 1. Challenge 2 1.1 What is the main problem within your city that you aim to address through this Challenge Fund? 1.2 Which inequity or inequities is your project aiming to address? 3 If available, use numbers, testimonials, or news ar odes to demonstrate the scale and the perspective of affected communities most negatively impacted. 250 words or less please. In 2023, Miami experienced 42 days reaching a heat index of 105°F or more, compared to an average of 6 days/year over the previous 14 years. In 2024, two days in May reached record breaking heat indices ofll2°F. Projections suggest that by mid-century, Miami could face 88 days annually with a heat index of105°F or greater, equivalent to roughly three months of extreme heat. Research from the University of Miami indicates that the annual average heat index in Miami has increased by 0.59°F per decade since the 1950s, emphasizing the need for a local extreme heat plan. To address this threat and meet this need, the City developed an Extreme Heat Plan published December 2024. This plan contains action items for City departments to implement to address ambient heat during the Heat Season (May 1 - October 31). In Miami, the nexus between outdoor and indoor heat temperatures needs additional data. Buildings provide shade from heat, but some structures do not provide passive cooling effects. According to the 2021 American Community Survey (ACS), over 70% of the population in Miami are renters, further exacerbating the ability to implement cooling measures within homes. Additionally, the ACS shows that over 84% of respondents report living in the same home as one year ago. Types of buildings, status of homeownership, level of heat in homes, and feedback on the types of cooling measures preferred is needed to help make informed decisions on ways to mitigate extreme heat during the Heat Season. 250 words or less please. Extreme heat, both chronic and heat events, is a public health and environmental crisis in Miami, especially to vulnerable populations (low-income households, elderly, children, and minorities). Historically marginalized communities in Miami, shaped by discriminatory redlining practices, are disproportionately affected by urban heat islands. Redlining, a practice that designated certain neighborhoods as "hazardous" for mortgage lending based largely on race, has resulted in lower home values, less homeownership, and fewer resources for these communities. Consequently, historic Black neighborhoods, like Overtown and Liberty City, typically have less tree cover and more heat -absorbing surfaces like concrete and asphalt, making them significantly hotter than more affluent areas. 94% of historically redlined neighborhoods are disproportionately hotter than other areas in Miami. This project is focused on indoor and outdoor heat in Miami's Climate Justice Communities, defined 1.3 Who will benefit from this project? Why is this important in the context of your city? 1.4 Does this project deliver on any goals and/or policy actions from your city's equity commitments, health targets, Climate Action Plan, Adaptation Plan, or Resilience Plan? If so, which one(s)? 4 as historically underinvested neighborhoods (which tend to be inland), populated by individuals that are low-income, predominantly Black, and recent immigrants. Neighborhoods of note include: Allapattah, Liberty City, Little Havana, Little Haiti, Overtown, and Little Bahamas/West Grove. Please include specific information about their social identities, historical and present-day injustices they have faced/are facing, among other contextual information that would be important for us to know. 500 words or less please. This project will benefit Miami's underserved communities and vulnerable populations most impacted by disproportionate environmental and/or public health issues of extreme heat. Miami has identified Climate Justice Communities in our Miami Forever Carbon Neutral Plan (greenhouse gas reduction plan): Allapattah is a working-class neighborhood known for its sizable Dominican American population. (84% Hispanic,10.5% Black, 5.5% White/Other). Poverty level hovers between 26% and 32% (2015 U.S. Census). Liberty City is the heart of Miami -Dade County's largest African -American community. The median income is $18,000 and is 81% low -moderate -income (LMI) with 95% Black, 3% Hispanic and 2% White/Other. It was a thriving middle-class community until it fell victim to redlining. Little Haiti has a great social and cultural significance to the Haitian Diaspora - between 35% and 76% of residents identify as Haitian. Like Liberty City, Little Haiti is an area where more than 8 in 10 households are very low/low income. Little Havana serves as an entry point for many immigrants from Latin America/Caribbean, with 92% identifying as Hispanic and 52% speaking little to no English. Prior to the Affordable Care Act, 44% of residents carried no health insurance. Overtown was once a thriving center for commerce and arts for the Black community until the construction of 1-95 in the 1960s tore the neighborhood apart. Overtown now has a majority Black population who are extremely low-income with a median income of about $13,000 per year. Most residents are renters (87%) and rent -burdened (56%) paying over 30% of their income in rent. Little Bahamas/West Grove is a historically Black community of Bahamian descendants. More than 40% of West Grove's 3,000 Black residents live below the poverty level versus 21% of Miami residents. Real estate speculation and gentrification is ongoing in this area. The Black population has declined over 32% from 2000-2017, while the White population has increased by more than 176%. 250 words or less please.

This support could include (but is not limited to): Techni, „ assistance, Advocacy support, Research support, Peer -to -peer network support, etc. 250 words or less please. Miami is a member of the C40 Cool Cities Network, the Urban Sustainability Directors Network (USDN) Extreme Heat Learning Group, and the Arsht-Rock/Resilient City Network Urban Heat Adaptation Working group where each serves as a peer -to -peer support network to share challenges and successes in developing and implementing action plans to address extreme heat in municipalities. 500 words or less please. Include: • The communities you anticipate serving • How you would implement the project • Stakeholders, community groups, and partners you will engage in design and delivery • How the city and partners, if applicable, will implement the project (including additional city departments and any other Community Based Organizations) • If this is a project already existing in your city, how will you ensure the learnings and lessons from this are taken into account for the next stage? This project will deploy heat sensors inside and outside of 60 resident homes in Miami's Climate Justice Communities (10 in each of the 6 neighborhoods) to compile indoor and outdoor heat data and resident feedback on lived experiences that the City will analyze to determine localized needs for extreme heat mitigation. This work will help ensure that residents are not forced from their homes and communities due to unhealthy indoor temperatures and that when they encounter extreme outdoor temperatures, that they are able to find refuge in their homes, building community capacity to prepare for and recover from climate change disasters i.e., extreme heat. This funding will also help advance data collection of outdoor heat that will help inform the City of Miami in implementing cooling strategies for individual homes within overburdened and underserved climate justice communities. Project team will collaborate with C40 and Catalyst Miami to collect indoor/outdoor heat data and lived experience data to understand the City's heat profile. Catalyst Miami will help identify and recruit participating households, deploy, and retrieve the indoor and outdoor heat sensors, and survey participants of experiences and receive input on desired cooling measures that are needed to provide heat relief. The volunteer households will receive a $100 gift card at the start of the project after they are onboarded, and the sensor is activated for their participation in the project. Catalyst's experience in advocating for energy burden relief for low-income renters; protections for outdoor workers during extreme heat episodes; and a just transition to renewable energy will ensure the project outcomes go beyond surface -level reforms. The resources Catalyst will provide include their large networks and strong community trust which will facilitate launching the program and implementing cooling solutions. It is vested in working with this partnership as it aligns with their mission to build power with frontline communities throughout Miami -Dade County to collectively advance justice and achieve shared prosperity. Catalyst will also deliver the indoor and outdoor sensors and set them up in the volunteer households and deliver the survey to obtain their perspectives and lived experiences of extreme heat. They will also retrieve the sensors when the project period is complete and develop a report summarizing findings. Miami will use the results of the project- the indoor heat data, outdoor heat data, and the lived experiences to provide key insight for strategic implementation of extreme heat activities to address indoor heat. The heat data derived from the sensors will be compiled into a GIS hub with other environmental and social vulnerability data by the City. The GIS hub will inform which areas are most vulnerable to heat impacts and where interventions are most needed. It will serve as a resource to the Division of Emergency Management to assist with response during heat events and deployment of resources such as ice and water. Data will be public facing, and therefore a resource to community -based organizations, to facilitate the integration of findings into future programs/services and resource allocation, especially in underserved areas. 3. Commitment 3.1 Is this project supported by city leadership? If yes, please explain how the proposed project is supported (i.e. how there is political backing for implementing or continuing the project). Include links to press releases, mayoral statements, news articles, or other sources, as helpful, or please detail which documents you have attached to your application to provide this evidence if public information is not available. If not, please explain how you intend for your project to be supported by your city leadership and how it will contribute to existing or future city policies. 250 words or less please. Extreme heat is a critical issue Miami's City Commission has prioritized. On July 23, 2023, the Commission passed Resolution R-23-0354, directing the City Manager to explore solutions to mitigate extreme heat in Miami, particularly in public spaces like parks. The Office of Resilience and Sustainability collaborated with various departments to develop an Extreme 7 Heat Plan, outlining actions to enhance cooling solutions over the next five years. The plan, set for release in December 2024, includes strategies piloted during the 2024 Heat Season and will be further implemented in 2025. Mayor Suarez is expected to share a video highlighting the initiative upon its launch. Plan Focus Areas: Shade: Expanding shaded environments to protect residents from heat exposure. Water: Increasing access to hydration resources to keep people cool and safe. Design: Improving urban and residential design to reduce heat impacts in homes, workplaces, and communities.

How will it position the city to scale up this project and/or unlock any additional funding? 250 words or less please. This project is needed to obtain data to determine the vulnerability of Miamian residents to extreme heat in their homes. This data will help determine if cooling measures are needed in homes. The City will use the data from the project including the temperature data and humidity data from the indoor and outdoor sensors to determine vulnerability. The City will also use the survey data to understand resident perspectives of the levels of heat inside their homes and the cooling measures that that would prefer to use. This information will be used to determine future projects that the City could initiate to provide these cooling measures to residents. This data -based evidence will be a critical element in seeking additional funding for the cooling measures. 10.
