Here’s to a more resilient 2026! 🎉
The Full Story
During 2025, Resilience 4 Communities has worked alongside community members and local partners to assess their strengths and needs and take action together.
As our current phase of community-led projects, joined by multiple communities such as Boston Chinatown Main Street, Lower Roxbury, Trinity Houston Gardens, and Alief in Houston, comes to a close, we are sharing learnings and resources and invite you to share your own reflections.
Our shared work and support for cities, communities, and our mission do not end here. We look forward to continuing the work of building community resilience in 2026 and beyond.
1. Guidebook for Community Resilience
Neighbors, businesses, and place-based organizations all play a role alongside local governments in strengthening community resilience. The Guidebook for Community Resilience provides practical steps, clear strategies, and proven solutions to help communities prepare for and recover from extreme heat and flood risks.
2. Living Stories of Resilience
Through these interactive webpages or Living Stories of Resilience, you can explore how communities in Houston, Boston, Greater Manchester, and Melaka are building a more resilient future together now and into the future.
3. What’s next? Survey
As this phase of our work together ends, we look forward to what’s next. We invite community members and local partners to share your reflections on your experience and how you’d like to see our work evolve in the future.
