Can you import EJ data from EPA? https://ejscreen.epa.gov/mapper/ Most DAC's in NYS have excess negative SDOH such as exposure to Lead Based Paint. A barrier to making older housing resilient to climate could be extending the lifetime of homes that poison children with Lead in NY. NY annually has more poisoned children than any other state in the USA. Unintended consequences of retrofitting homes for climate change and CLPCA compliance could exacerbate the already worst lead poisoning problem in our country, cursory check of CDC data can confirm NY poisons more children 6 or younger annually than any other state.

Assist planning for HUD Lead Hazard Control or Lead Hazard Reduction grants to remove and stabilize housing components with LBP while also doing braided funding housing intervention work to weatherize older housing for climate resiliency too. If we want to make housing safe for the next 100 years, we really should remove the toxic legacy within these homes from the previous 100 years. We don't help DAC populations by making the homes climate/energy resilient so the most afflicted populations can enjoy another 100 years of debilitating environmental poisoning of their children for generations to come.
