E&E News: “How EPA Grant cancellations Are Affecting Three Low-Income Communities”
An If/Then blog post by RFF Senior Research Analyst Zach Whitlock is mentioned in this article about the loss of some federal grants.
“The $1.6 billion climate law program was intended to help mostly lower-income communities facing climate and environmental risks. That made it a target in the Trump administration, which has cut funding for climate programs and ‘diversity, equity and inclusion’ efforts.
All 105 awards have now been canceled. That includes $353 million for emergency shelters in multiple communities, $335 million for residential building upgrades and $297 million to employ local people to work on climate resiliency, according to an analysis by Resources for the Future.”
