The purpose of this Children’s Healthy Learning Environments in Low-Income and/or Minority Communities solicitation (RFA) is to provide funds for capacity building activities to address disproportionate children’s environmental health harms and risks in school and/or childcare settings in, or that primarily serve, low-income and/or minority communities. This RFA provides funding directly to organizations to support school-and/or childcare center-based capacity building projects that help school communities understand and address local environmental and public health issues that affect children. Projects must take place in schools and/or childcare centers that are located in minority and/or low-income communities and/or primarily serve student populations that are minority and/or low-income (e.g., Head Start and Early Head Start programs, Title I schools, tribal schools).
The source of funds for awards under this RFA is the American Rescue Plan (ARP), specifically Clean Air Act Section 103(b)(3) and/or the Safe Drinking Water Act Section 1442(c)(3). These funds were made available to address health outcome disparities from pollution and/or the COVID-19 pandemic and to identify and address disproportionate environmental or public health harms and risks in minority populations and/or low-income populations.
