🌡️ More than 50 residents came together to talk about Resiliency Hubs, and the spaces our community trusts.
At our recent High Heat & Resiliency event, residents shared their experiences, identified the spaces they already use and trust, and discussed what makes a strong Community & Resiliency Hub. Together, they also shared what they would like to see in community spaces like Espacio.
Resident voices and ideas remain at the center of this work. 💬🩷
This event was a true collaborative community effort. Thank you to our main partners Barr Foundation, City of Salem, and Salem Alliance for the Environment for helping make this important conversation possible.
A special thank you to nationalgridus for showing up, connecting directly with residents, and helping them navigate challenges they are experiencing in their buildings. Thank you as well to the Salem Power Choice team for sharing information and resources, and to LUCE – Immigrant Justice Network of Massachusetts for supporting the event and helping us engage the community.
When residents and partners come together, we can build stronger, more resilient communities, starting with the people and places that matter most. 🤝
