PUBLIC ASSISTANCE OVERVIEW
Public Assistance provides grants to state, tribal, territorial and local governments, and certain types of Private Non-Proft (PNP) organizations so that communities can quickly
respond to and recover from major disasters or emergencies
THINGS TO REMEMBER
Public Assistance funding cannot cover insured properties or lost revenue from business closures.
The federal share of assistance is not less that 75 percent of the eligible cost. The recipient - usually the state -- determines how the non-federal share (up to 25 percent) is split with the sub-recipients.
FEMA announced on January 2, 2018 that PNP Houses of Worship are eligible for disaster assistance.
