The latest application period for the Humanitarian Funding will be opened from Saturday, October 15, 2022 through Monday, November 28, 2022. The application will close on Monday, November 28, 2022 at 11:59 p.m. EST. Any agency that provides services may either apply via the EFSP website by selecting Supplemental Funding Info from the home page to access the application for reimbursement of already incurred expenses or contact its Local Board about submitting a Special Funding Request (SFR) for advance funding to meet anticipated needs. Agencies may apply for reimbursement for already incurred expenses from July 1, 2022 through September 30, 2022. After review of agencies' applications, Local Boards must submit them to the National Board by Monday, December 5, 2022.
No application received after the deadline will be considered for funding during this application period. As funding may be limited to meet every request, Primary Services (food and shelter) will be considered for reimbursement first. Should funds remain, Secondary Services, Administrative Services, Equipment and Assets Services, and Transportation Services will be considered. Agencies will be able to apply for funding in each category. Any nonprofit, faith-based or government agency that can document expenditures made to migrants encountered by DHS at the southern border may be considered to receive funds for eligible services provided; current or former EFSP participation is not a requisite for application submission. Eligible organizations that provide shelter, food, transportation, basic heath and first aid, COVID-19 testing and associated medical care needed during quarantine and isolation, and other supportive services may apply. Most of the funding is anticipated to be awarded to service organizations from southern border states where the greatest needs are expected to be met but all agencies throughout the country may apply for funding. |
