Community Action for A Renewed Environment (Care) Program: The CARE program was developed in response to community requests for help in addressing toxic concerns and in recognition of the need for new approaches to help communities address toxic concerns. While national regulatory approaches have resulted in significant reductions in toxic releases, they have not always been effective in addressing specific community concerns and cumulative risks resulting from toxic releases from multiple and often diffuse sources. CARE is designed to complement national regulatory approaches and meet community needs by building the capacity of communities to understand and take effective actions to address toxic concerns resulting at the local level. Through CARE, organizations will build community capacity to understand and reduce risks by providing funding, information, training, technical support, help building collaborative partnerships, and by improving access to voluntary programs to address community concerns.
