Dillard University and United Way of Southeast Louisiana will work in Orleans, St. Tammany, and Washington Parishes to reduce pollution and strengthen community resilience to natural disasters. They will improve transportation access by providing up to 300 families with e-bikes; expanding bike sharing programs; and installing EV chargers. They will retrofit several public buildings with energy efficient HVAC systems, solar, and energy storage so they can serve as community resilience hubs during emergencies. The university also will launch new non-degree certificate programs in clean energy and climate resilience.
