Details:
The goal of the Community Benefit Grant program is to meaningfully address the impacts of Port of Los Angeles and Port-related activity in the communities of San Pedro and Wilmington. Nearport communities experience higher concentrations of environmental impacts (directly and indirectly) than other residential communities. Due to cumulative environmental exposures, these near-port communities experience disproportionate public health outcomes, resulting in environmental justice concerns. Projects funded through the Community Benefit Grant Program focus on addressing Port operations and port-related activity impacts on air quality, water quality, environmental noise exposure, marine life and local ecology, community safety, increased exposure to hazardous substances, land use, and access to natural spaces and community resources.
