Linnean Solutions, the Resilient Design Institute, and Curtis + Ginsberg Architects worked with Enterprise Community Partners, Inc. on the development of the Ready to Respond: Strategies for Multifamily Building Resilience manual—the first of its kind for multifamily affordable housing. The manual provides a comprehensive set of solutions and best practices to make tenants of affordable housing less vulnerable to climate change.

The manual is based on extensive resilience-focused research, especially in the wake of Superstorm Sandy in New York City, and lists key solutions that can be applied to both existing and new facilities. Linnean compiled a database of building-related damages from the hurricane in order to quantify typical costs of repairs in relation to different types of hazards.
