DEEP Seeks Comment on Draft Proposal for DEEP Community Resource Hubs
(HARTFORD) – The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) today released a draft Request for Qualifications (RFQ) and a notice of an opportunity for public comment on its proposal to partner, through multi-year contracts, with qualified organizations to serve as Community Resource Hubs in Environmental Justice (EJ) communities across the state, whether urban or rural. The draft RFQ outlines a new initiative aimed at enhancing DEEP’s outreach, facilitating community engagement in program design, and improving access to beneficial environmental and energy programs and services. This initiative is part of DEEP’s ongoing effort to ensure equitable access to environmental and energy programs, grants, and services, particularly in communities historically overburdened by environmental challenges.
(HARTFORD, CT) — Today, the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) announced the strategic expansion of the successful DEEP Climate Resilience Fund (DCRF) program to better enable communities to access federal funding for climate resilience. This upcoming investment of state funds will help towns, Councils of Government, and other stakeholders pursue project planning, and in some cases construction, allowing them to tap into the billions of federal dollars available to improve local resilience. As Connecticut experiences mounting costs from severe weather events, securing federal funding for proactive climate resilience planning and investment is critical to getting more projects built and keeping communities safe. DEEP is seeking feedback on a new framework for the DEEP Climate Resilience Fund, including from municipalities, Councils of Government, tribes, electric distribution companies, academic partners, private entities, and non-profit organizations. DEEP made this new future grant round announcement as part of a tour of the Meriden Green resilience project, a 14-acre flood control project using nature-based solutions located in downtown Meriden. The announcement was part of the State’s Sustainability and Resiliency Week.
