Richmond nonprofit wins $10M grant to build first-of-its-kind Community Resilience Center

After winning a highly competitive state grant, one small nonprofit will build a new recreation center this year that will double as an emergency shelter during climate and other emergencies. 

With a $10 million Community Resilience Center grant, Pogo Park — a Richmond nonprofit with a mission to transform lives by transforming public spaces – will construct Contra Costa County’s first CRC at Harbour-8 Park. Harbour-8 is a two-block park on the Richmond Greenway, which is a 2.5-mile trail landscaped with community gardens and art.
