In this mention
The White House announced $20 billion in EPA awards to establish a national network of green banks and climate finance programs under the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, with over 70% of funding directed to low-income and disadvantaged communities. SACE highlighted the announcement as an opportunity for Southeast communities to access financing for clean energy projects and pollution reduction. The program leverages public investment to attract private capital for tens of thousands of climate and clean energy projects nationwide.
Low-income communities across the Southeast are now one step closer to having the financing to cut pollution and invest in clean energy thanks to @EPA's Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. This fund has awarded $20 billion to 8 pollution-fighting grantees.
