2. Increase long-term engagement of relevant place-based coalitions serving target populations with clean energy employment opportunities.
3. Further develop place-based strategies consistent with DOE’s job quality and DEIA priorities in clean energy (including implementation of the Justice40 Initiative7) and EERE’s focus on implementing clean energy technologies equitably.

(3) Community-based organization: A membership-based, non-governmental organization that represents the target population or a non-governmental organization with a track record of working with and serving the target population.
