Despite President-elect Donald Trump’s promise to slash the law that helped make resiliency hubs possible, developers don’t expect the new administration’s plans to affect them.
In Atlanta’s Cascade neighborhood, a Black church has operated a community center next door for decades. The recently renovated space is simple inside—white walls and gray carpet—but that’s where the magic happens. There, the congregation runs a weekly food pantry where they feed up to 400 predominantly Black families a week. Now, with financial help from the Inflation Reduction Act, a landmark climate law passed by Democrats during the Biden administration, the church is offering even more services—by making the center the first community-owned resiliency hub in the city.
