EPA has launched a new technical assistance program, Community Change Equitable Resilience, to help eligible entities apply for EPA’s Community Change Grants. EPA will offer free design and project development assistance, community engagement, and partnership development workshops.
- Eligible projects must be located in a disaster-prone area and benefit a disadvantaged community. The requestor can propose up to three sites for design assistance.
- Climate resilience projects must have a direct community benefit and could include retrofits to community-serving buildings; design or redesign of public parks, open space, and waterways; redesign of streets; or other projects that address climate resilience and environmental justice.
- Proposed projects should address climate change impacts such as extreme heat and more intense heat islands, wildfire and wildfire smoke, floods, storms, or other impacts that pose a greater risk to disadvantaged communities.
EPA will accept requests on a rolling basis until 50 recipients have been identified.
