Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Program (EFSP) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 15 DAD 024 000 01) is a discretionary federal grant administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA. Its purpose is to provide federal funds that supplement and expand the day-to-day work of local social service providers, including both nonprofit organizations and government agencies, that help people facing severe economic hardship. A key point is that this funding is aimed at economic crisis situations that are not the direct, immediate result of a natural disaster or a man-made disaster. In other words, it is designed to strengthen community-based safety net services for urgent needs like food and shelter in non-disaster contexts.
The program is categorized under the funding activity area of "Food and Shelter" (listed under an "Other" category with that clarification), and it aligns with CFDA number 97.024, which corresponds to the Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Program. The funding instrument is a grant, and the announcement indicates there is a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients are expected to contribute some form of non-federal share according to program rules.
Eligibility for this particular announcement is specific and limited: the eligible applicant is the National Board for the Emergency Food and Shelter Program. This is not a broadly open competition for individual local nonprofits or municipalities to apply directly to FEMA under this posting. Instead, the announcement reflects the federal award structure in which FEMA funds the EFSP National Board, and the National Board then allocates and administers funds through its established process to local jurisdictions and participating agencies.
The notice was posted and created on May 6, 2015, with an original and final application closing date of May 29, 2015, and it was archived on June 28, 2015. The listing shows an expected number of awards as 1, consistent with the eligibility being restricted to the EFSP National Board. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as 0 in the grants.gov metadata, which typically signals that dollar amounts are not specified in that particular summary record rather than indicating no funding exists.
For applicants or stakeholders who needed the full announcement but had trouble accessing it electronically, the contact provided was FEMA's GMD Systems Branch at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov, and the general additional information link referenced is grants.gov (http://www.grants.gov).
