## Additional Information Agency Name:Environmental Protection Agency Description:The Healthy Communities Grant Program was launched in 2003 and supports EPA’s mission by integrating many EPA New England (Region 1) programs including Air Quality Outreach; Asthma and Indoor Air; Children’s Environmental Health; Air Pollution in Schools and the Clean, Green and Healthy Schools Initiative; Energy Efficiency Program; Environmental Justice Program; Pollution Prevention; Sustainable Materials Management; Toxics and Pesticides; and Water Infrastructure (Stormwater, Wastewater, and Drinking Water).

The goal of the program is to combine available resources and best identify competitive projects that will achieve measurable environmental and public health results in communities across New England. Eligible applicants are invited to apply to EPA New England for funding consideration under this competitive grant program.

The Healthy Communities Grant Program anticipates awarding approximately 15 cooperative agreements from these project applications in 2024. The Healthy Communities Grant Program is a competitive grant program for EPA New England to fund direct work with communities to support EPA’s mission to reduce environmental risks, protect and improve human health and improve quality of life.

* Increase collaboration through partnerships and community-based projects. * Build institutional and community capacity to understand and solve environmental and human health problems. * Achieve measurable environmental and human health benefits.
