EPA Launches New Community-based Initiative to Help People Access
Unprecedented Resources for Local Climate and Environmental Justice Solutions
Under President Biden’s Investing in America Agenda, EPA to host a National
Virtual Open House November 6-14; registration for the event is now open
WASHINGTON (Nov. 1, 2023) – Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) announced the launch of the Community, Equity & Resiliency initiative, a
groundbreaking effort to help communities across the nation navigate EPA’s
Inflation Reduction Act investments and other new funding opportunities made
possible by President Biden’s Investing in America agenda. Through this new
initiative, EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation and Office of Environmental
Justice and External Civil Rights will facilitate community-driven
partnerships and provide a space for communities to learn, connect, and
cultivate ideas on how to access the historic resources, especially in
low-income and disadvantaged communities.
“Thanks to President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, we now have the
largest investments in climate action and environmental justice in U.S.
history,” said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. “The Community, Equity
& Resiliency initiative will provide a roadmap to help communities navigate
the Inflation Reduction Act and other new Investing in America funding
opportunities from EPA, as we work to meet people where they are.”
As part of the initiative, EPA will host live virtual and in-person events,
including panel discussions and fireside chats featuring environmental leaders
and their peers, to help community-based organizations, their community
partners, and potential grant applicants navigate funding opportunities. These
engagements are designed to spark ideas on how to take advantage of Investing
in America programs while taking into account each community’s unique
context when confronting the climate crisis and advancing environmental and
climate justice. EPA’s new Community, Equity & Resiliency website offers
information on multiple funding opportunities and resources to ensure
community-driven partnerships can inspire meaningful change in their
communities. To learn more about the effort, visit EPA’s new Community,
Equity & Resiliency webpage.
National Virtual Open House, November 6-14 
On November 6, 2023, EPA will kick off the Community, Equity & Resiliency
initiative with a National Virtual Open House that is open to the public. This
six-day event will include a series of virtual panels and fireside chats
featuring prominent environmental leaders and peers discussing their ideas to
overcome environmental pollution and climate change challenges through funding
opportunities that are available through the Inflation Reduction Act and other
programs under the President’s Investing in America agenda. Panel and
fireside chat topics will include climate change in rural communities, green
jobs, electric vehicle infrastructure, technical assistance and more.
Register for the National Virtual Open House
Upcoming Regional Roadshows
Starting this winter, EPA will also host in-person, community-based Regional
Roadshow events. These will provide opportunities for community leaders to
develop or leverage existing community-based partnerships and dream and
cultivate ideas on the Inflation Reduction Act and other new Investing in
America programs. More details on the Regional Roadshow will be available
soon.
