AURORA was identified in a 2023 report by The Cross Dependency Initiative as among the provinces vulnerable to climate change. In response, the project, "Matibay na Bahay para sa mas Ligtas na Buhay," helped 37 families in the province's towns of Baler and Dipaculao to strengthen their houses against extreme weather. It raised awareness on the importance of climate-resilience building to more than 3,000 people. It provided access to housing loans to low-income families and employed 120 local masons.
The project was completed by building solutions provider Holcim Philippines Inc. in collaboration with nonprofit social innovator Build Change and microfinance institution Alalay sa Kaunlaran Foundation Inc. (ASKI).
