Anchors in Resilient Communities (ARC) is a multi-stakeholder initiative that leverages the assets and capacities of large, place-based anchor institutions — such as hospitals, universities and local governments — to improve the health, economies and climate resilience of low-income communities of color. Combining the financial, political and social assets of these communities with the influence and resources of their anchor institutions allows them to not only create jobs, but to shift their food, energy, water and waste sectors to be greener, healthier and economically just.

ARC is co-convened by Emerald Cities Collaborative and Healthcare Without Harm. Go here to learn more about the initiative.
