"The EPA invited environmental justice advocates, communities, and other groups on Tuesday to apply for $100 million in environmental justice grants, a record amount provided under last year’s climate law.

Congress provided $3 billion in environmental and climate justice block grants under the climate measure (Public Law 117-169) signed into law in August, along with smaller amounts for environmental grants and technical assistance for schools serving low-income communities.

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan said the agency is requesting applications for the first $100 million in grant awards under two agency programs: its Environmental Justice Collaborative Problem-Solving Cooperative Agreement Program and Environmental Justice Government-to-Government Program."
