Description
EPA cordially invites you to one of two events to discuss the ongoing barriers that prevent basic services in many Colonias and other disadvantaged unincorporated communities in the Southwest region. EPA will convene Colonia and disadvantaged unincorporated community leaders, nonprofit, civic, philanthropic, and faith-based organizations, higher education institutions, as well as local, state, and federal government representatives.
Participants will enhance connections, understand how to unlock access to resources, and discuss a collaborative strategy to address environmental and health risks faced by these communities. Participants will also learn about the Environmental and Climate Justice Community Change Grants, a $2 Billion funding opportunity that plans to invest a minimum of $50 million to benefit Disadvantaged Unincorporated Communities.
The Environmental and Climate Justice Community Change Grant webinars are open to the public in-person or virtually.
