The FEMA Public Assistance (PA) Program

The FEMA Public Assistance (PA ) Program covers immediate post-storm response needs such as debris removal and emergency protective measures, and provides funding to return publically-owned infrastructure that was damaged - including roads, schools, bridges, parks, hospitals, police stations, fire houses, water/wastewater treatment facilities and other public facilities - to its pre-storm condition.

 

To ensure that impacted entities can continue with their recovery without the need to borrow funds, dip into emergency reserves, or pass the costs along to local taxpayers, the Governor's office directed that State-allocated CDBG-DR funds be used to cover the match costs associated with PA projects.
 
To remain in the PA match program, the following training webinar hosted by GOSR discusses HUD compliance requirements, including M/WBE, Section 3, and Davis-Bacon. This TA webinar will be available to view beginning on August 3, 2016. All applicants must complete the questions in the Survey Monkey to demonstrate that they have watched this mandatory webinar.
