Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 19 MT 029 000 99
The FY19 Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 19 MT 029 000 99, CFDA 97.029) is a discretionary FEMA program under the Department of Homeland Security that provides federal funding to help state, local, and federally recognized tribal governments reduce or eliminate the long-term risk of repeated flood damage. The focus is specifically on buildings and structures that are insured through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), with the broader goal of lowering future flood losses and reducing ongoing NFIP claim payments by investing in mitigation before the next disaster occurs.
A major emphasis in this cycle is on community flood risk. FEMA indicates that it will prioritize proposals that address flood risk at the community level by setting aside $70 million for that purpose. Under this community-focused funding, FEMA intends to support two main types of activities. The first is Advance Assistance, which is aimed at the early work needed to design and develop community flood mitigation projects (for example, developing scopes, engineering concepts, benefit-cost information, and other pre-award groundwork that can move a larger mitigation project toward construction). The second is implementation-oriented community flood mitigation projects that directly reduce community flood risk in ways that also reduce NFIP flood claim payments over time. This structure is meant to encourage applicants not only to propose ready-to-build projects, but also to invest in the planning and design steps that make larger, more complex flood mitigation efforts possible.
Beyond the $70 million community risk set-aside, FEMA notes that the remaining funding will be at least $90 million and will be used for a mix of FMA technical assistance, mitigation planning, and mitigation projects that reduce risk to Severe Repetitive Loss (SRL) and Repetitive Loss (RL) properties. In practical terms, this part of the program supports the kinds of targeted mitigation actions that address locations with a history of recurring insured flood claims, as well as the planning and administrative capacity that state, local, and tribal governments need to identify risk, prioritize cost-effective actions, and manage mitigation projects successfully.
Eligibility is aimed at public-sector applicants, including state governments and federally recognized tribal governments, with additional eligible parties referenced in FEMA's eligibility clarification for the program. The opportunity anticipates roughly 120 awards, and the listing shows an award ceiling of $0, which typically indicates that a single maximum award amount is not specified in that particular summary field and that applicants should rely on the full notice and program guidance for any limits or caps tied to specific project types or applicant categories.
Applications must be submitted through FEMA's Mitigation eGrants system using the FEMA Grants Portal at https://portal.fema.gov, meaning applicants need access to that system and should plan for the usual requirements tied to federal online submission (user roles, permissions, and time for internal review before final submission). A key submission constraint is that applicants may submit no more than one Advance Assistance sub-application and one Community Mitigation Project sub-application, which effectively limits each applicant to proposing at most two items in those specific community flood risk categories and encourages careful selection of the strongest, most competitive proposals.
The opportunity was created on August 26, 2019, and originally closed on January 31, 2020. Overall, the FY19 FMA program is designed to push funding toward both community-scale risk reduction and the longstanding priority of mitigating SRL and RL properties, using NFIP-insured loss history as a guide for where mitigation dollars can produce meaningful, measurable reductions in future flood claims and damage.Apply for DHS 19 MT 029 000 99
