Extreme Heat and Community Resilience Round 2 Resources

The EHCRP Round 2 Applicant Preparation Guide is designed to help potential applicants evaluate their organizational readiness, build strong partnerships, and develop competitive proposals for the Extreme Heat and Community Resilience Program.

Applicants will find practical tools such as checklists, timelines, and document preparation guidance to streamline proposal development. By using the guide early in the planning process, applicants can ensure their projects align with EHCRP’s goals of harm reduction, collaborative partnerships, and transformational, community-centered resilience to extreme heat.

The Partnerships Guide is intended to support prospective applicants in developing strong, eligible partnerships for EHCRP Round 2 proposals. This guide describes program goals and new partnership requirements for Round 2; defines eligibility criteria, applicant team roles and responsibilities; and provides guidance and tools to help applicants identify and engage potential co-applicants and project partners. If applicants use the guide early in their project design and proposal preparation process, they can build well-organized teams that combine community expertise, technical capacity, and local authority to advance EHCRP’s goals of collaboration, equity, and transformational resilience to extreme heat.
