Rising sea levels, stronger hurricanes, unprecedented flooding, and more frequent wildfires are putting people, places, and communities at risk, including many cultural sites and historic districts. Over 60% of Americans report that they are experiencing climate impacts in their communities. Through this project, we will identify some of the challenges and opportunities that historic preservation practitioners can use to plan for a changing climate and take action at the local and state levels.

This lack of skilled workers is further magnified for the specialized traditional trades often needed for historic preservation projects. The focus of our work is to complement federal-level goals of the Advisory Council for Historic Preservation’s Traditional Trades Training Task Force with local and state case studies, data, and programs while also providing actionable items that organizations can immediately apply to begin to address the skilled trades deficit in their locality.

We are working to identify some of the challenges and opportunities to increase affordable housing and density while changing the misperception that historic preservation is a barrier to affordable housing and greater density.

Our work is focused on supporting the preservation movement in its continuing efforts to advance the priorities of communities historically marginalized in protecting what matters to them and foster greater inclusivity at the local, state, and national levels.
