Creates grants for communities to tackle local climate change problems.
This bill would create a new federal grant program to help communities deal with local climate change problems. The Environmental Protection Agency would give money to Tribal governments, local governments, and community groups for projects like community solar and energy efficiency. The program would set aside $1 billion each year for ten budget years to support these efforts in environmental justice communities.
Right now, there isn't a specific federal program that gives money to local groups to help communities deal with climate change problems. This is especially true in areas often hit hardest by pollution. This bill would create a new grant program through the Environmental Protection Agency, setting aside $1 billion each year for ten years (the government's budget year (October to September) 2026-2035). This money would fund local projects in environmental justice communities, with grants up to $2 million each.
