## What the grant funds

The overall goal of the program to be established under the Notice of Funding Opportunity is to advance EJ by directing resources and ultimately environmental and community benefits toward overburdened, underserved, or communities adversely and disproportionately affected by environmental and human health harms or risks (communities with potential EJ concerns). EPA anticipates that the grant program will support improved, long-term funding integration of EJ principles into Puget Sound restoration and recovery. The successful applicant will develop and administer a support program that will fund projects and activities that focus on providing environmental and community benefits.
