Trump’s EPA killed a $16.9M grant to fund housing and neighborhood revitalization in Benton Harbor, MI.

Published: May 13, 2025

$16.9 million would have gone toward the Benton Harbor Community Development Corporation, which funds housing and neighborhood revitalization.

“It will be a huge blow for our community, from the jobs perspective, community development perspective and a resiliency perspective,” said Muhammad.

Black, Brown, and frontline communities are hit first and worst by pollution and climate disasters.

Clean energy offers a path forward — creating good-paying jobs, reducing pollution, lowering energy bills, and protecting our future.

But now, it’s under threat. Defunding clean energy means:

  • Lost jobs
  • Higher costs for our families
  • More toxic pollution in our neighborhoods
