SAVANNAH, Ga. () — An energy efficiency initiative that provided aid to those in need in Savannah has been discontinued, as confirmed by city officials on Saturday.

According to a spokesperson for the City of Savannah, city employees received notice from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that the $1 million Environmental Justice Government-to-Government Program (EJG2G) grant has been revoked. 

Initially awarded in August 2024, this grant was designed to create a low-to-no-cost energy efficiency program. Additionally, it included a workforce training element to boost the availability of electricians in the area. 

The grant’s sub-recipient, Harambee House, is a Savannah non-profit founded in 1990. The non-profit focuses on environmental justice and community empowerment through things like disaster preparedness, food security and environmental justice education, according to their website.

The city has not incurred any expenses related to this grant since there was no local match for the award, a city official said. The city is also working to review the legal justification for the termination in order to determine if the grant can be reinstated.

This is the only federal grant city staff have received a termination letter for, an official confirmed.
