  • The Biden administration has so far awarded nearly $266 million, according to an EPA database, leaving more than half
  • or just over $334 million
  • vulnerable to reversal efforts from Trump officials or Republican lawmakers.

The article from MassLive discusses concerns among aspiring applicants for the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Grantmaking program. The program, which aims to distribute $600 million to community-based organizations to address environmental justice issues, has been met with uncertainty due to potential changes in federal funding. Applicants are worried that the grants might be rescinded before they are awarded, influenced by political shifts and budget reallocations.

The article highlights the frustration and anxiety among community leaders and activists who see these grants as crucial for tackling pollution and health disparities in marginalized communities.
