FEMA Makes $56M Available to American Communities for Flood Risk Management
On June 30, FEMA made $56 million available to empower state, local, Tribal Nations and territorial government agencies as well as community organizations to build and maintain a risk-informed approach to managing flood risk. FEMA is disbursing this funding through two separate grant programs that enhance the nation’s resilience to floods by supporting communities participating in the National Flood Insurance Program. These programs align with President Trump’s America First Resilience Strategy, which calls for a new risk-informed approach that treats resilience as an investment opportunity.
The funding opportunities span two separate grant programs:
- The FY 2026 Community Assistance Program – State Support Services Element funding opportunity makes $15 million available to states, U.S. territories and the District of Columbia. This year’s funding opportunity also requires recipients to use a new Compliance Audit Tool to verify community compliance to strengthen program accountability and consistency. The application period closes on August 11.
- The Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 Cooperating Technical Partners grant program funding opportunity makes $41 million available to communities that participate in the National Flood Insurance Program. This year’s funding opportunity prioritizes completing the more than 1,000 flood mapping projects currently in progress across the country. The application period closes on August 17.
Eligible applicants can review the full funding opportunities for both programs on Grants.gov.
