Aid Available to Communities Impacted by Natural Disasters
Washington – U.S. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross announced that the Department’s Economic Development Administration has published the Fiscal Year 2019 Disaster Supplemental Notice of Funding Opportunity making $587 million available to eligible grantees in communities impacted by natural disasters in 2018 and floods and tornadoes in 2019.
EDA disaster grants are made by its Regional Offices under the agency’s Economic Adjustment Assistance Program, which enables EDA to make awards that support a wide range of construction and non-construction activities in areas which experience sudden and prolonged severe economic dislocation. Applications should be based on long-term, regionally-oriented, and collaborative development strategies that foster economic growth and resilience.
There are no application deadlines and the agency will accept proposals on a rolling basis until the publication of a new Disaster Supplemental NOFO, cancellation of this NOFO, or all funds are obligated. Disaster recovery projects must be consistent with the U.S. Department of Commerce Disaster Recovery Investment Priorities.
