#TBT to the annual Equitable Community Revitalization Grant (ECRG) Summit, closer & 🔑 part of the California Land Recycling Conference in Carson, Calif last month (#CALRC24). 🙌 #CALRC, as always, was brimming with opportunities to learn, train & network with community groups & land restoration professionals focused on beneficial reuse of underutilized & contaminated properties. Every year, the ECRG Summit closes out CALRC, an event that fosters invaluable connections, highlights project successes & provides opportunities for direct feedback we use to improve the program. 📸 DTSC's Doris Nguyen from the Office of Brownfields & grantees during an ECRG Summit focus group

At the #California Department of Toxic Substances Control (#DTSC), we are proud to restore contaminated properties & support sustainable redevelopment. This summer, representatives from our Office of #Brownfields attended the groundbreaking of an Equitable Community Revitalization Grant (ECRG) grantee, Satellite Affordable Housing Associates (SAHA), in the City of #Oakland. Our investment in this #cleanup project paves the way for safe, #AffordableHousing, health services and a community space. The project (a joint venture by the Native American Health Center & SAHA), funded in part by our #ECRG program, is a testament to our commitment to #EnvironmentalJustice & community revitalization. ➡ Learn more about ECRG: https://dtsc.ca.gov/ecrg #CleanUpCalifornia
