Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 20 MT 029 000 99
The FY20 Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 20 MT 029 000 99; CFDA 97.029) is a discretionary FEMA grant program under the Department of Homeland Security designed to help communities reduce or eliminate long-term flood risk, especially repetitive flood losses. The central focus is on buildings and structures that are insured through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), with the program aiming to lower future NFIP claim costs by funding mitigation actions before the next flood occurs. Eligible applicants include state governments, U.S. territories, and federally recognized tribal governments, which generally serve as the primary applicants that coordinate and submit subapplications on behalf of local communities and other eligible subapplicants.
For FY20, FEMA announced a total funding amount of $160,000,000, with money divided across several categories that cover both project development and implementation. Up to $4 million is set aside for Project Scoping (formerly called Advance Assistance), which supports early-stage work to develop viable flood mitigation projects. This scoping funding is meant to help applicants and communities do the upfront planning and analysis needed to build strong future applications for either community-wide mitigation efforts or mitigation actions aimed at individual properties, ultimately reducing future flood claims against the NFIP.
A major portion of the funding supports implementation. FEMA indicated it would select up to $70 million in Community Flood Mitigation Projects, which are intended to address flood risk at a broader, community scale. These projects are geared toward reducing NFIP flood claim payments by tackling flooding problems that affect multiple structures or entire neighborhoods, rather than focusing only on single buildings. In addition, the program includes support for Individual Flood Mitigation Projects, which target flood risk reduction for specific NFIP-insured structures, helping protect individual properties that are vulnerable to flooding.
The opportunity also supports the planning and administrative capacity needed to sustain mitigation work over time. Flood Hazard Mitigation Planning funds are available for the flood hazard component of State, Local, Territory, and Tribal (SLTT) Hazard Mitigation Plans, including plan updates. This is important because FEMA mitigation funding is closely tied to having a current, FEMA-approved hazard mitigation plan, and the planning dollars help jurisdictions keep those plans updated and usable for future project development. FEMA also offers Technical Assistance funding to maintain a viable FMA program over time, but with a key eligibility condition: to apply for Technical Assistance, the applicant must have received an FY19 FMA award with at least a $1 million federal share.
Applications for FY20 FMA had to be submitted through FEMA Grants Outcomes (FEMA GO) at https://go.fema.gov/. The posting was created on Aug 03, 2020, and the original closing date was Jan 29, 2021. FEMA anticipated making about 35 awards. The opportunity notes an award ceiling of $0, which typically indicates there was no single fixed maximum award amount listed at the opportunity level and that funding limits are instead governed by program rules, category allocations, and FEMA selection decisions. A notable submission constraint in the notice is that applicants could submit no more than one Project Scoping (Advance Assistance) subapplication and one Community Mitigation Project subapplication, which effectively limits how many of those particular project types an applicant can put forward in that funding cycle.Apply for DHS 20 MT 029 000 99
