The San Fernando Gardens apartment complex in Pacoima. Congressman Tony Cárdenas announced $3,573,240 in Community Project Funding for San Fernando Gardens during a press conference on Friday, July 19, 2024, at San Fernando Gardens. The funding will bring 448 energy-efficient AC units to help provide relief for the 1,479 residents.
Built in 1955, the San Fernando Gardens complex was not constructed to withstand record-breaking heat waves caused by climate change and the ongoing strain on the grid. Local lawmakers said the air conditioning and roofing installations, which have already started and will be complete by early 2025, are a step to change that.
