Funding opportunities: FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) grant programs


The Federal Emergency Management Agency has announced FY 2017 funding opportunities for two of the

The purpose of the grants is to provide funding for eligible mitigation activities to strengthen the nation’s ability to reduce disaster losses and protect life and property from future disaster damages. Further information on FY17 Flood Mitigation Assistance (DHS-17-MT-029-000-99) can be found here,  or  here for FY17 Pre-Disaster Mitigation (DHS-17-MT-047-00-99).

The application period is August 14 through November 14, 2017. In order to submit your grant application, you will need to email Ron Davis at ron.davis@illinois.gov to obtain your eGrants password. Pre-Award costs may be included in your application, but only costs incurred after the official opening of July 13th, 2017 are eligible.
