The Lake Erie Environmental Justice Grant Program is one of five Great Lakes Environmental Justice Grant Programs funded by U.S. EPA through the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI). The goal of these programs is to fund GLRI projects in disadvantaged and other communities with environmental justice concerns by providing technical assistance and reducing the administrative barriers to applying for and managing federal grant funds. 

 Ohio Lake Erie Commission (OLEC) has released the Request for Proposals for their Lake Erie Environmental Justice Grant Program. This grant program will support environmental restoration and education projects in the Lake Erie Watershed with a specific focus on historically underserved and overburdened communities. OLEC has partnered with Black Environmental Leaders (BEL) and Rural Action (RA) as equity partners
to help connect these underserved communities to funding. Eligible projects include habitat restoration, invasive species control, nonpoint source runoff reduction, aquatic connectivity, storm water management, and environmental education.

The Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have selected Ashland (WI), Green Bay (WI), Two Harbors (MN) and Oscoda Township (MI) for engineering and design support through the Initiative for Resilient Great Lakes Coasts. Over the next year, the Cities Initiative, NOAA and technical partners from Dewberry and LimnoTech will work with community collaborators to plan and design their habitat-focused projects that address coastal challenges—like flooding and stormwater runoff—and improve climate resilience. Read the full story about the initiative.
