The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has selected Inter-American University of Puerto Rico (IAUPR) as the site of an Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Technical Assistance Center (EJ TCTACs). The university will receive $10 million over the next five years to help communities in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands get the resources they need to advance environmental justice and revitalize disadvantaged and historically underfunded communities. Organizations working to expand and develop leadership capacity will be some of the beneficiaries of this fund, along with local governments and networks seeking to advance environmental justice.
