Opportunity Summary:
The Severe Repetitive Loss (SRL) Grant Program for FY2009 is a FEMA mitigation grant opportunity under the Department of Homeland Security focused on permanently reducing flood risk for a specific, high-cost subset of properties: severe repetitive loss structures that are insured through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The program is designed to fund projects that reduce or eliminate the long-term risk of flood damage to these repeatedly flooded buildings, helping communities move away from a cycle of recurring losses, repeated insurance claims, and ongoing disruption to residents. While homeowners and other property owners are not forced to participate, the SRL program has an important distinction compared with other FEMA mitigation programs: if an eligible property owner is offered mitigation assistance through SRL and declines it, that decision can trigger increased NFIP insurance premium rates. Because of that consequence, applicants are encouraged to review the SRL Program Guidance, especially the sections on the program's legal authority and appropriations (noted as Section 1.3 in the notice), as well as eligibility requirements.
This opportunity is a discretionary grant (Funding Opportunity Number DHS-09-FEMA-110-001) categorized under Disaster Prevention and Relief, specifically FEMA Mitigation. FEMA anticipated making about 75 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $160,000,000. The CFDA number listed is 97.110 (Severe Repetitive Loss Program). The announcement notes that eligible projects may or may not involve geospatial or GIS components, meaning applicants are not required to propose mapping or spatial data work, although GIS could be relevant for activities like identifying eligible structures, documenting flood risk, supporting benefit-cost analysis, or planning mitigation actions.
Eligibility to apply is centered at the state, territorial, commonwealth, and tribal government level rather than individual property owners applying directly to FEMA. The primary eligible applicants are State Emergency Management Agencies (or similar offices) for states, territories, and commonwealths, along with federally recognized Indian tribal governments. Local governments such as county governments and city or township governments are listed as eligible applicants in the opportunity summary, but the eligibility section clarifies the typical FEMA structure: local entities and other participating organizations generally apply through the state/tribal applicant rather than directly to FEMA. The notice also indicates that tribal participation includes federally recognized tribes participating in the NFIP, and it references inclusion of state recognized tribes, authorized tribal organizations, Alaska Native villages, and local communities participating in the NFIP as entities eligible to seek assistance through the applicant. For precise definitions and pathways (who can submit directly, who must be a subapplicant, and what NFIP participation requirements apply), FEMA directs readers to Section 1.4 of the SRL Program Guidance.
The posted date for the opportunity is June 20, 2008, with an original closing date of December 19, 2008, aligned with the application closing date used across FEMA mitigation non-disaster programs referenced in the notice (including PDM, FMA, RFC, and SRL). The opportunity was later archived on April 10, 2014. The announcement provides a FEMA program webpage for additional information (http://www.fema.gov/government/grant/srl/index.shtm) and a point of contact for access issues or questions: Tony Hake (phone 202-646-3428; email Lloyd.Hake@dhs.gov).
