FEMA ANNOUNCES EMERGENCY FOOD AND SHELTER PROGRAMS FUNDING FOR NORTH
CAROLINA
[https://www.fema.gov/press-release/20210318/fema-announces-emergency-food-and-shelter-programs-funding-north-carolina]


Release Date: 
May 12, 2020 

ATLANTA – North Carolina will receive $9.3 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 North Carolina combines the EFSP’s annual
funding with funds designated for food and shelter support under the
federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act.

North Carolina jurisdictions will receive $3,750,088 for FY 2019 and
$5,693,109 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 North
Carolina’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.
