BACKGROUND & EJ COLLABORATIVE PROBLEM-SOLVING MODEL. In 2003, the Office of Environmental Justice (OEJ) initiated the first solicitation for the Environmental Justice Collaborative Problem-Solving Cooperative Agreement Program. To find the latest information about the EJCPS Program visit: ▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇/environmental- justice/environmental-justice-collaborative-problem-solving-cooperative-agreement-0 The purpose of the EJCPS Program is for EPA to provide financial assistance to support community-based organizations to collaborate and partner with other stakeholders (e.g., local businesses and industry, local government, medical service providers, academia, etc.) to develop and implement solutions that will significantly address environmental and/or public health issue(s) at the local level.

These elements are cross-cutting and interdependent and should be utilized in a proactive, strategic, and iterative manner.
