YVN Summary
\n\nLow-income communities, communities of color, and tribal communities often bear the heaviest burden from pollution and climate change while having the fewest resources to respond. The Climate Justice Grants Act would create a federal EPA grant program providing up to $2 million per recipient to tribal governments, local governments, and nonprofit community organizations to build capacity and carry out projects in these communities. Eligible projects include community solar and wind installations, building energy efficiency upgrades, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and climate-resilient infrastructure. The bill authorizes $1 billion per year for 10 years (fiscal years 2026–2035), with up to 2 percent of each year's funding available for administrative costs.
