Stimulus Package
As many of you are aware, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Public Law 111-5) provided FEMA with $510 million dollars in grant funds for the following programs:
$150M for the Port Security Grant Program; $150M for the Transit Security Grant Program; and $210M for Fire Station Construction
The Grant Programs Directorate (GPD) of FEMA, which includes the AFG Program Office, has been working closely with a number of stakeholders over the last six weeks to solicit input on how these programs should look. We are very appreciative of all of the good information we’ve received from a number of constituencies. We have developed draft guidance, which is currently going through leadership review. At present, we plan on announcing these three guidance packages in late May. We will ensure that notification is issued when the Fire Station Construction application becomes available.
