Equity Grant Program
The Growing Transit Communities Partnership and the Regional Equity Network are pleased to announce the second round of funding through the Equity Grant Program.
The grant program will increase the capacity of community-based organizations and the communities they work with to engage in planning and policy development that will shape the future of transit station areas and surrounding neighborhoods in the region’s three major transit corridors.

Small grants to community-based organizations will provide resources to organize and increase participation of underrepresented communities and give voice to community priorities.
The Growing Transit Communities Partnership brings together a diverse group of stakeholders to develop action strategies and tools to promote equitable transit communities in the region’s three major transit corridors. A Regional Equity Network is being formed to ensure a social equity framework is used in all aspects of the program and will provide resources to promote equitable development and meaningful community engagement. The Equity Grant Program is one of these resources. The Growing Transit Communities Partnership is funded through a Sustainable Communities Regional Planning Grant from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Applications are due by March 30, 2012.
