Topic Area

Socioeconomic impacts and Vulnerable Populations

Description

Where does the funding come from to support building owners in investing in their seismic resilience? Seismic retrofits are expensive and due to their age, many of these buildings are serving populations with higher socioeconomic vulnerabilities. Requiring retrofits can contribute to community displacement, gentrification, or demolitions if not implemented with supportive resources. Join this panel discussion to learn about ideas, successes, and lessons learned when it comes to funding a scalable retrofit program.
