The 2021 BOOST Program was based on the BOOST Pilot Program, which helped 10 cities and two regions build capacity to advance their climate and equity goals. The 18-month pilot was designed to provide flexible and responsive technical assistance to address the varying and evolving capacity challenges of local governments, while also sharing best practices and lessons learned to help inform state programs.

In the second round of BOOST, we selected seven cities to receive tailored support in the form of trainings, partnership development, community engagement planning and implementation support, grant application assistance, and communications support.
