Objective
EPA is providing grants to States, federally recognized Tribes, public pre-schools, local educational agencies, and non-profit organizations for the assessment, prevention, control, or abatement of wildfire smoke hazards in community buildings and related activities. These grants are provided under Section 103(b)(3) of the Clean Air Act as supplemented by authority provided in the 2022 Consolidated Appropriations Act and the 2023 Consolidated Appropriations Act to fund abatement activities. Funding Priority - Fiscal Year 2022 and 2023: The Wildfire Smoke Preparedness in Community Buildings grant program aims to prioritize projects targeting public buildings or buildings that serve the public, with a demonstrated wildfire smoke risk, and those that serve disadvantaged communities or vulnerable populations. Priority project types include smoke readiness planning, outreach and training, indoor and outdoor air quality monitoring, deployment of portable air cleaners, identification and preparation of cleaner air shelters, and significant improvements to buildings such as upgrading heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) units or systems and weatherization necessary to protect occupants from hazards stemming from wildfires.
