DESCRIPTION:THE COUNTY PROPOSES THE ENERGY-HEALTH-EQUITY PROJECT (EHE PROJECT, OR PROJECT), WHICH WILL CREATE TWO TECHNICAL RESOURCES: A DECISION-SUPPORT TOOL AND A COMPREHENSIVE FINANCING/INCENTIVES PORTFOLIO. THESE RESOURCES WILL BE TEST DRIVEN, REFINED, AND SCALED FOR INCREASED IMPACT WITHIN THE COUNTY AND REGION, SUPPORTED BY AN ENGAGEMENT PLAN, TRAINING, AND CAPACITY BUILDING BETWEEN COMMUNITY-BASED NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS (CBOS), CONTRACTORS, AND COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS. THE EHE DECISION SUPPORT TOOL WILL ALLOW USERS TO THE MODEL POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF ENERGY IMPROVEMENTS TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND COMMERCIAL STRUCTURES COMMON TO UNDERSERVED AND DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES (DACS) IN THE NORTHERN VIRGINIA AND GREATER REGIONAL TERRITORIES. THE PROJECT WILL CULMINATE WITH A FINAL DELIVERABLE REPORT THAT WILL BE LEVERAGED TO BUILD A PIPELINE OF PROJECTS AND SUPPORT SCALABILITY AND REPLICABILITY. THE EHE PROJECT'S CORE OBJECTIVES ARE TO IMPROVE AIR QUALITY AND HEALTH AND REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS (GHG) EMISSIONS IN ARLINGTON DACS VIA BUILDING ENERGY UPGRADES. THE PROJECT WILL ALSO PROVIDE TECHNICAL SUPPORT AND TRAINING TO KEY AUDIENCES FOR USING THE TOOLS AND PURSUING BUILDING UPGRADES, DEFINE HUMAN HEALTH INDICATORS AND METRICS AND ALIGN HEALTHIER INDOOR ENVIRONMENTS WITH ENERGY-PERFORMANCE UPGRADES, AND UPSCALE USE OF THE PROJECT TOOLS AND RESOURCES FOR ADOPTION AND REPLICATION ACROSS OTHER JURISDICTIONS.ACTIVITIES:EHE PROJECT ACTIVITIES FALL INTO FIVE MAIN AREAS: 1) PUBLIC AND PRIVATE-SECTOR ENGAGEMENT PLAN AND BEST PRACTICES, 2) ENERGY MODELING FOR ENERGY-PERFORMANCE UPGRADE PLANNING AND DECISION SUPPORT (THE EHE DECISION SUPPORT TOOL), 3) FUNDING OPPORTUNITY IDENTIFICATION (THE FINANCING/INCENTIVE PORTFOLIO), 4) TECHNICAL SUPPORT/PROGRAM SUPPORT PLATFORM, AND 5) DEMONSTRATION AND SCALING. ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED INCLUDE THE DEVELOPMENT OF TWO TECHNICAL TOOLS AND TWO MARKET RESOURCE TOOLS. THESE TOOLS WILL BE USED TO ASSIST BOTH OCCUPANTS AND BUILDING DEVELOPERS/OWNERS IN IDENTIFYING POTENTIAL BUILDING UPGRADES AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO THEM.SUBRECIPIENT:THE NORTHERN VIRGINIA AFFORDABLE HOUSING ALLIANCE (NVAHA) ($100,000) WILL DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT COMMUNICATIONS AND OUTREACH STRATEGIES SPECIFICALLY TARGETED TO UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS AND BUILDING OWNERS AND MANAGERS IN DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES AND AREAS DESIGNATED FOR HIGH-SOCIAL VULNERABILITY. NVAHA WILL ALSO EMPLOY/COMPENSATE RESIDENT COMMUNITY LEADERS AT EACH PROPERTY TO ASSIST WITH OUTREACH AND EDUCATION, PROVIDE TRANSLATION SERVICES, CHILDCARE SERVICES, AND OTHER SERVICES. THE COLUMBIA PIKE PARTNERSHIP ORGANIZATION ($110,000) WILL SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT OF THE DECISION-SUPPORT TOOL WITH DATA ON SOCIO-ECONOMIC FACTORS, HOUSING, LAND USE, COMMERCIAL BUILDING STOCK, AND OTHER CONDITIONS AND CHARACTERISTICS. COLUMBIA PIKE WILL ALSO FACILITATE OUTREACH WITH BUSINESS OWNERS, CITIZEN-CIVIC GROUPS, AND RESIDENTIAL/COMMERCIAL BUILDING OWNERS/MANAGERS, AND DEVELOPERS. GEORGE MASON UNIVERSITY'S VIRGINIA CLIMATE CENTER ($78,000) WILL ENGAGE PUBLIC STAKEHOLDER PLATFORMS WITH A FOCUS ON CLIMATE IMPACTS TO HUMAN HEALTH AND MITIGATION STRATEGIES, EVALUATE KEY INTERVENTIONS OF THE PROJECT, AND EVALUATE THE COUNTY'S ENERGY ACTION CLIMATE PLAN FOR ALIGNMENT IN ADVANCING ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE AND OTHER GOALS. THE UNIVERSITY WILL ALSO COMMUNICATE ENERGY-PERFORMANCE BUILDINGS, HEALTHY ENVIRONMENTS, AND THEIR IMPACT ON HUMAN HEALTH INDICATORS IN DACS. VIRGINIA CLINICIANS FOR CLIMATE ACTION ($99,000) WILL PROVIDE TRANSLATION AND ADVOCACY SUPPORT REGARDING INDOOR ENVIRONMENTS AND HUMAN HEALTH, SUPPORT CASE STUDIES OF PUBLIC HEALTH IMPACTS AMONG UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES AND THEIR CONNECTION WITH CLIMATE VOLATILITY, INDOOR ENVIRONMENTS, AMBIENT AIR QUALITY, EXTREME AND PROLONGED HEAT EVENTS, AND OTHER DYNAMICS BETWEEN URBANIZED ENVIRONMENTS AND UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS, AND INFORM DEVELOPMENT OF THE DECISION-SUPPORT TOOL TO REFLECT HUMAN HEALTH INDICATORS AND METR
