Description: This agreement provides funding under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) to Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde.

Specifically, the project will allow Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde to build a resident resilience center (RRC).

The RRC is designed to provide safe, accessible shelter and services to the Grand Ronde community during extreme climate events.

Additionally, the center will also serve as a center for health, community, education, and wellness.

Activities: This project shall result in the construction of a climate resilience center for Grand Ronde community members.

Funding for each strategy was determined by the overall size of the building and associated costs for HVAC, electrical, and programmatic services required based on building size.

The components of the facility and surrounding grounds were determined based on extensive community feedback over the past five years, as reflected in the Tribe's community development plan.

Subrecipient: Energy Trust of Oregon, as the Tribe's statutory partner, will provide technical assistance and subject matter expertise to Grand Ronde regarding energy efficient commercial construction practices.

The subaward costs include the design, project management, and construction management of CTGR's CBO, Energy Trust of Oregon, totaling $58,500.

Outcomes: Through the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde's EPA Environmental Justice, Community Change Grants, they will be building a resident and recreation center that will act as a community resilience hub during wildfires, snow, ice storms, power outages, and other disaster threats.

The resident and recreation center will incorporate solar-plus-storage technology into the design and construction, which will have the ability to function as a microgrid in the event of power outages or grid failure.

The Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde will also implement sustainable construction practices and will offer amenities including, but not limited to an outdoor ballfield, bike and skate park, outdoor gathering space, and meat processing center.

Evaluation activities will include the tracking of the project timeline, membership participation, GHG reductions, and grant deliverables.

Target measures are measurable and can be easily monitored through observation of power usage, use of the facility, and increased access to services and shelter during climate events.

The intended beneficiaries are disadvantaged communities.
