SAN MATEO, Calif., Dec. 20, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jupiter, the leading provider of predictive data and analytics for climate risk and resilience, announced today a project with Fannie Mae to identify neighborhoods and communities most at risk from perils related to climate change as part of The Jupiter Promise program for historically marginalized communities. The effort will focus on at-risk communities in Baltimore and Memphis.
Fannie Mae works to support sustainable homeownership and affordable rental housing across the United States. Leveraging Jupiter’s climate data and analytics will help identify at-risk communities and encourage housing resiliency.
“Jupiter and Fannie Mae share a commitment to support communities, including those that are at-risk and underrepresented, with climate-related analytics,” said Rich Sorkin, Founder and CEO of Jupiter. “The Jupiter Promise provides analytics and data to create resilience with the world’s most vulnerable communities and this is exactly the type of relationship we envisioned.”
“We hope this important engagement may soon enable cities, mortgage lenders, and homeowners to invest more wisely in neighborhoods around the country,” said Tim Judge, Head of Modeling and Chief Climate Officer at Fannie Mae. “Even more importantly, it may contribute to the building of more resilient communities well into the future.”
The Jupiter Promise was launched with a mission to provide climate-related analytics in partnership with organizations and governments around the world in order to create better resilience within the world’s most vulnerable communities.
