About the ECJ TA Program

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is providing Technical Assistance to communities under the Environmental and Climate Justice Grant Program (ECJ Program). This program provides grant funding and support to the most adversely and disproportionately impacted communities working to address climate and environmental justice challenges.

Communities under the ECJ Program can take advantage of support and services from EnDyna and its partners free of charge. This applies to grantees under the following programs:

  • Collaborative Problem-Solving Program (CPS)
  • Community Change Grants Program (CCG)
  • Government-to-Government Program (G2G)
  • Thriving Communities Grantmaking Program (TCGM)

Eligible communities and organizations can take advantage of Technical Assistance (TA) support for all aspects of their ECJ work. Some examples include:

  • Budget oversight and compliance
  • Construction practices
  • Outreach events
  • Grant management
  • Reporting requirements
  • Quality standards
