## Objectives

The Healthy Communities Grant Program is a competitive grant program for EPA New England (Region 1) to fund work directly with communities to support EPA’s mission to reduce environmental risks, protect and improve human health and improve the quality of life. In FY 2025, the Healthy Communities Grant Program will continue to achieve these goals through identifying and funding projects that: target resources to benefit communities at risk; assess, understand, and reduce environmental and human health risks; increase collaboration through partnerships and community-based projects; build institutional and community capacity to understand and solve environmental and human health problems; and achieve measurable environmental and human health benefits. More information on each participating program’s activities, projects and accomplishments is available at EPA New England website: (https://www.epa.gov/aboutepa/epa-region-1-new-england).
