In general, the non-federal cost share requirement may not be met with assistance from other federal agencies; however, some authorizing statutes explicitly allow some federal assistance to be used as a cost share for other federal grants.[137] For example, the Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grants program and the Department of Defense Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration program are authorized to allow recipients to use program funds as non-federal cost share, and these funds can be applied to the HMA non-federal cost share.[138] Federal assistance that is used to meet a non-federal cost share requirement must meet the eligibility and compliance requirements of both the other federal source program and the HMA program.[139] More information on allowable funds for non-federal cost share can be found in the Hazard Mitigation Assistance Cost Share Guide.
