The United of Mesa County is seeking applications for its 2023 Emergency Food and Shelter Programs.
Donor Name: United of Mesa County
State: Colorado
County: Mesa County (CO)
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 02/10/2023
Details:
The Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP) National Board has been awarded $75 million in humanitarian relief funding that was made available under the Continuing Appropriations and Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2023, referencing Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2022, for the purposes of providing shelter and other services to families and individuals encountered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). These funds are a reimbursement type, and the first open application period will be for eligible expenditures incurred on October 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022. These funds are solely intended for migrants crossing the Southwest Border and encountered by DHS. United Way of Mesa County is acting as the Local Board contact for this funding opportunity.
Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible to receive funding, an organization must have a Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) and a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) number. Qualifying agencies are urged to apply. Any nonprofit, faith-based or government agency that can document expenditures made to migrants encountered by DHS at the southern border may be considered to receive funds for eligible services provided. Most of the funding is anticipated to be awarded to service organizations from southern border states where the greatest needs are expected to be met but all agencies throughout the country may apply. A local, volunteer EFSP Board will review applications, and award decisions will be made by the National EFSP Board.
