The Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Program

Phase 26 Funding

On Tuesday, February 26, 2008, the Phase 26 (Fiscal Year 2008) funding announcement for the EFSP was made by FEMA. The $153 million made available for Phase 26 was awarded to jurisdictions using a formula established by the National Board. Award notices have been mailed to qualifying jurisdictions and State Set-Aside Committees. Through the “Awards” link below, you may see the amount your jurisdiction is eligible to receive. Funds will be sent to funded agencies as plans are received from Local Boards.

Phase 25 Final Reports

Final Reports for Phase 25 (FY2007) funding were mailed to Local Boards at the end of October. Local Boards have been provided with instructions, individual Final Reports for each funded LRO and instructions for each LRO. The Local Board has also received a letter regarding which LROs are being required to submit documentation with their Final Report to the National Board. LROs are requested to use the color-coded Final Reports that were sent to the Local Board and should address any Final Report questions to their Local Board prior to submitting their Final Report to them. Final Report instructions and forms are also located under the Local Board and LRO information section of the web site. However, please use these forms only if the color-coded forms were not received.
