The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted a request to gather information for the Environmental and Climate Justice Community Change Grant Program, which helps fund community-driven projects addressing environmental and health issues. This is a new information collection request and the EPA is seeking public comments for another 30 days. The grant program, supported by the Inflation Reduction Act, aims to direct resources to communities heavily affected by pollution and climate change. Participating groups must provide performance reports to guarantee responsible management of the allocated funds.
Simple Explanation
The EPA wants to help neighborhoods that have a lot of pollution by giving them money for projects. They are asking people to give feedback about this plan so they can make sure the projects are chosen and monitored fairly.
