Grants Program for Community Adjustments under the Inflation Reduction Act
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced the selection of 105 community projects, amounting to $1.6 billion in funding, as part of its Environmental and Climate Justice (ECJ) Program. These projects are designed to reduce pollution, increase community climate resilience, and build community capacity.
The ECJ Program, which received approximately $2 billion dollars from the Inflation Reduction Act, focuses on place-based investments and community-driven initiatives. The selected projects are from applications submitted to the Community Change Grants Program, though specific project names and the exact communities impacted are not detailed in the available search results.
For those interested in learning more about the Community Change Grants Program, the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is available to read. However, it is important to note that this opportunity is currently closed, as the deadline for applications has passed.
The ECJ Program activities are designed to be responsive to community and stakeholder input. To inquire about the status of an application, interested parties are encouraged to email CCGProgramStaff@our website. Please note that the Community Change Grants Program does not provide immediate responses to email inquiries due to the high volume of applications.
For those seeking funding opportunities more broadly, Grants.gov can be a useful resource. Additionally, this page contains information about Community Change Grants Selections and provides resources related to the Community Change Grants Program.
The EPA's role includes working with the Inflation Reduction Act to ensure that the funded projects meet the objectives of reducing pollution, increasing community climate resilience, and building community capacity. An Inflation Reduction Act Guidebook is also available for further information.
Interim General Budget Development Guidance for applicants and recipients of EPA Financial Assistance is available for those who have been selected for funding. The ECJ Program aims to benefit communities through pollution reduction, climate resilience enhancement, and community capacity building.
