For RFC, FEMA may contribute up to 100 percent of the project cost. The Application and the subapplication must include certification (e.g., signed letter from an authorized local government official) explaining why the FMA cost sharing requirement cannot be met. If a project to mitigate this particular property was previously identified on a subapplication for HMA funding and the project was not funded, the Applicant or subapplicant must explain why the 25 percent non-Federal cost share is no longer available for this project.
Description: RFC grants are awarded nationally without reference to State allocations, quotas, or other formula-based allocation(s) of funds. The RFC program is subject to the availability of appropriation funding, as well as any directive or restriction made with respect to such funds. All RFC grants are eligible for up to 100% Federal assistance. Projects or initiatives that are eligible for funding under this announcement may or may not involve Geospatial (GIS) issues.
