Community-Based Organization Analysis

What are Boston, Phoenix, and New Orleans Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) doing around extreme heat?

The CATCH team conducted a landscape analysis in December 2025 to understand the activities and priorities of 37 Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) working on extreme heat in Boston, Phoenix, and New Orleans. First, we identified which CBOs work on extreme heat, whether directly or indirectly. We then classified CBO activities into different activity types. Similarly, we categorized the target beneficiaries of CBO activities.
