FCCA named partner in Climate, Health & Equity Planning Grant

The Florida Clinicians are working with grassroots organizations in Miami-Dade on a one-year planning grant to address climate, health, and equity. The Kresge Climate Change, Health, and Equity Initiative grant will support a collaborative planning process for strengthening efforts by Miami-Dade County’s low-wealth communities to achieve transformative, systems-oriented change for those most at risk of worsening socio-economic disparities due to climate change.

FCCA will be partnering with multiple organizations, including the lead organization, Catalyst, as well as FIU NeighborhoodHELP, the FIU Sea Level Solutions Center, the Miami Foundation and the CLEO Institute.

Together, we will identify a community-driven challenge and associated theory of change in order to achieve greater climate resilience and health equity.
