## Objectives

This program has been terminated.
The purpose of this cooperative agreement program is to support and/or create model state, local, and/or tribal activities that lead to measurable environmental or public health results in communities disproportionately burdened by environmental harms and risks. These models should leverage or utilize existing resources or assets of state, tribal, local, and territorial agencies to develop key tools and processes that integrate environmental justice considerations into all levels of government and government programs. The EJG2G program goals are to (1) achieve measurable and meaningful environmental and/or public health results in communities; (2) build broad and robust, results-oriented partnerships, particularly with community-based nonprofit organizations (CBO) within disproportionately impacted areas; (3) pilot activities in specific communities that create transferable models, which can be expanded or replicated in other geographic areas and; (4) strengthen the development and implementation of meaningful approaches to achieve environmental justice.
