Disaster Assistance Projects

 

This category is not for unsolicited proposals. Provides funding that has been designated by Congressionally appropriated authorization, generally for a specified project, or to provide unique or limited scope funding for certain disaster assistance Projects identified by Congress or a DHS program office. Program funds support the National Preparedness Goal of enhancing core capabilities in the areas of disaster response and recovery. One such disaster project is the Disaster Case Management (DCM) Program, which is a disaster-related federal award. DCM supports the Recovery core capability and mission area as defined in the National Preparedness Goal. The objective of DCM is to assist individuals and households through the recovery process by connecting survivors with local resources to meet their disaster-caused unmet needs. A disaster-caused unmet need is any un-resourced item, support, or assistance that has been assessed and verified as necessary for a survivor to recover from disaster. This may include but is not limited to: food, clothing, shelter, first aid, emotional and spiritual care, household items, temporary housing, home repair, or rebuilding.

These include: o Records for real property and equipment acquired with federal funds must be retained for three years after final disposition of the property.
