Stories from the Community

This webpage provides a series of stories from residents, business owners, workers, and others who have shaped — or been shaped by — the implementation of the California Transformative Climate Communities grant program (TCC). Their purpose is to be illustrative, but not exhaustive, of how TCC has touched the lives of community members.

Documenting these stories is part of UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation’s evaluation of groundbreaking progress in seven TCC communities: Fresno, Ontario, Pomona, Stockton, and the Los Angeles neighborhoods of Northeast San Fernando Valley, South Los Angeles, and Watts.

We recently partnered with Pomona ACTS, and stories from their community will be coming soon…

We recently partnered with the South LA Eco-Lab, and stories from their community will be coming soon…
