Fresno City Councilmember Luis Chavez is helping seniors stay cool during the Valley’s protracted heatwave.
He is providing 25 window air conditioning units at Seniors Citizens Village in southeast Fresno.
“During the hot summer months, extreme temperatures can be particularly challenging for our senior residents,” Chavez said at a Friday news conference. “Many seniors are unable to afford an air conditioning unit or lack transportation to get to our (city) Cooling Centers.”
Ironworkers Local 155 will provide the labor for the first 10 installations. Funding for the air conditioners is from Chavez’s council infrastructure budget.
