While the EPA grant that supported our operations has been terminated, our team continues to work toward securing new partnerships and funding to continue offering meaningful support and guidance to the communities we serve. With short-term support for a few staff, CCEEJ will continue to field emails and support the Climate Action Hub. Additionally, some CCEEJ partners continue to operate technical assistance programs supported by non-Federal or other funds and we’ll continue to connect your organization to those resources.
