Where we work
The UW Center for Environmental Health Equity (UW CEHE) is a Thriving Communities Technical Assistance Center (TCTAC) serving community-based organizations and Tribes in Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington state. We work with groups to build capacity to address environmental justice issues in their communities and to effectively access environmental and energy justice funding to support that work.
Who we serve
We work with Tribes and community-based organizations that have deep relationships and roots in frontline communities, or those who experience the "first and worst" impacts of climate change and environmental pollution.
We prioritize working with Tribal communities, communities of Black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC), communities that are low-income, rural communities, immigrant and refugee communities, LGBTQ+ communities, communities of people with disabilities, and others who experience systemic inequities in exposure to environmental hazards and access to resources.
