How We Can Help

Call: 860-486-1857

Supported by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Federal Thriving Communities Network Initiative, the New England Thriving Communities Technical Assistance Center supports underserved and rural/remote communities in EPA Region 1 as a resource and technical assistance hub. Our mission is to remove barriers and improve accessibility for communities facing environmental challenges.

We provide training and assistance to help organizations navigate federal and local grant systems, develop strong proposals and manage grant funding effectively. Our services include providing guidance on community engagement, facilitating meetings and offering educational courses. Our technical assistance professionals and partners create and manage communication channels to ensure all communities have direct access to vital resources and information.

Where to Start? Flowchart

This flowchart provides steps to assist individuals facing environmental issues. It begins by asking, "Have an Environmental Problem and Need Help?" From there, different pathways guide users through the following options: 1. Contacting support directly via phone or email for general assistance. 2. Completing a "Get Started Form" to initiate support services. 3. Checking out available funding opportunities for environmental projects. 4. Completing a "Technical Assistance Request Form" if help is needed with a grant proposal. 5. Attending educational sessions, such as webinars and workshops, on solving environmental issues. 6. Completing forms for specific services like grant proposal preparation and review. The visual includes icons representing forms, communication methods, workshops, and funding options.
