Description
Consistent with EPA’s mission and Administration priorities, including those set forth in Executive Orders 13985, 14008, 14091 and 14096, and using funding available for environmental justice, as well as potential DOE funding to be provided through an interagency agreement, and other potential funding as available and appropriate, EPA is seeking applications from eligible entities as described in Section III to establish and operate an Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Technical Assistance Center (EJ TCTAC) for EPA Region 1. There was no award for a dedicated Region 1 EJ TCTAC under the national competition (Funding Opportunity No. EPA-I-OP-EOJ-22-02), and EPA has determined that for program effectiveness and to successfully serve communities within this geographic area, it is appropriate to open a competition for a Region 1-specific EJ TCTAC. The Region 1 EJ TCTAC will provide technical assistance, training, and other eligible forms of assistance, resources, and support (henceforth referred to as “Eligible Services”), as described below, to “program participants (as used throughout this RFA)” throughout EPA Region 1 (Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut and 10 federally recognized Tribes) including but not limited to: • Nonprofit organizations. • Community-based and grassroots organizations. • Philanthropic and civic organizations. • Underserved communities and organizations.• Rural and Remote communities and organizations. • Faith-based organizations and churches. • Educational institutions (e.g., schools, colleges, and universities), including Minority Serving Institutions. • Individuals of underserved communities. • Disadvantaged Businesses. • Local, tribal, and state governmental units. • US Territories. • Utility providers. • Health care providers and clinics.
