## Resource

New Orleans residents are facing a hidden heat crisis—even with AC running, indoor temps soar past 80°F in neighborhoods like Hollygrove and Gert Town, trapping heat in concrete-heavy areas. A new study tracking over 100 households reveals this isn’t just discomfort—it’s a health emergency, worsening blood pressure, sleep, and chronic conditions. For low-income families already struggling with sky-high energy costs, choosing between cooling and medication is no longer a luxury. Even central air fails when outside temps hit 90°F, exposing those with older or less efficient systems to greater risk. The takeaway? It’s not about having AC—it’s about making sure everyone can afford to run it and that homes are built to stay cool. This research demands urgent policy action to protect vulnerable communities from deadly heat. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
