Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Program Funds Available

Philadelphia County has been awarded $603,418 in federal funding by the Department of Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Program (EFSP). The funds will be used to supplement emergency food and shelter programs in the county.


The EFSP Local Board is responsible for recommending which agencies should receive these funds. Eligible local agencies must:

1) be private voluntary nonprofits or units of government

2) be eligible to receive Federal funds

3) have an accounting system

4) practice nondiscrimination

5) have demonstrated the capability to deliver emergency food and/or shelter programs

The Local Board must consider its reduced grant funding as it makes its recommendations and asks applicants to adjust their requests accordingly.

The EFSP Local Board invites qualified local nonprofit agencies to review the EFSP Phase 42 Request for Proposals and apply for funding online.

Deadline

Noon, February 13, 2025.

More information

Visit the EFSP website or contact Administrator Patricia Smith, patricia.r.smith@phila.gov, for additional information.

 

While the Philadelphia Office of Homeless Services (OHS) administers EFSP in Philadelphia, EFSP is not an OHS program.
