About This Episode
In this episode, we explore the significant progress of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) historic environmental justice grants. Our guests, Alexandra Gallo, Special Advisor at the EPA and a lead architect of the Community Change Grants Program, and Dr. Larissa Mark, Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and IRA Staff Lead for the Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights, discuss the key metrics used to measure the effectiveness of these grants and the opportunities they present. We delve into practical strategies for accessing funding, including Technical Assistance Centers (TCTACs), Regional Roadshows, and more, to support communities in launching their projects. Join us as we address the challenges faced in implementing these grants and how the EPA leverages its expertise to collaborate with other federal agencies, engage stakeholders, and advance environmental justice.
