ATLANTA – Florida will receive $17.2 million from FEMA’s Emergency
Food and Shelter Program (EFSP) to assist nonprofits that are helping
residents who are experiencing hunger and homelessness.  The money
allocated to Florida combines the EFSP’s annual funding with funds
designated for food and shelter support under the federal Coronavirus
Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act.

Florida jurisdictions will receive $6,446,199 for FY 2019 and
$10,797,699 from the CARES Act. A local EFSP board is responsible for
awarding the grant funds to local social service organizations, both
nonprofit and governmental, that can best address the identified needs
of the community.

“This funding supports local organizations helping Florida’s
hungry and homeless during the coronavirus pandemic and other
disasters,” said FEMA Regional Administrator Gracia Szczech. “It
can supplement programs offering meals, groceries or food boxes,
residential shelters, rent payments or utilities.

With the FY 2019 and CARES Act funding, and the FY 2020 funding of
$125 million that will be allocated to jurisdictions later this year,
the total aid disbursed in the EFSP’s 38-year history will be more
than $5 billion.
