Wildfire Smoke Preparedness in Community Buildings Grant Program is sponsored by ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY. The EPA is providing grants to states, federally recognized Tribes, public pre-schools, local educational agencies, and non-profit organizations for the assessment, prevention, control, or abatement of wildfire smoke hazards in community buildings and related activities.
These grants are provided under Section 103(b)(3) of the Clean Air Act as supplemented by authority provided in the 2024 Consolidated Appropriations Act and the 2025 Consolidated Appropriations Act to fund abatement activities. The Wildfire Smoke Preparedness in Community Buildings grant program aims to prioritize projects targeting public buildings or buildings that serve the public, with a demonstrated wildfire smoke risk.
Priority project types include smoke readiness planning, outreach and training for smoke readiness, indoor and outdoor air quality monitoring, deployment of portable air cleaners, identification and preparation of cleaner air spaces or shelters, and significant improvements to buildings such as upgrading and repairing heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) units or systems and weatherization necessary to protect occupants from hazards stemming from wildfires.

On June 11, 2026, U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel ruled that the EPA's February 2025 termination of the $2.8 billion Environmental and Climate Justice Block Grant Program — created by Section 60201 of the Inflation Reduction Act — was arbitrary, capricious, and unlawful. The ruling voids the termination but does not order the EPA to resume the program, leaving the September 30, 2026 statutory deadline as the binding constraint. For the 116 grantees and the coalition of nonprofits, cities, and tribal partners that were already in award negotiations, the next 105 days will determine whether the program survives in any operational form or migrates entirely to the Court of Federal Claims as a damages action.
