CategoryExplanation: Food and Shelter
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: National Board for the Emergency Food and Shelter Program
Description: The Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Program (EFSP) makes available federal funds, through the program&apos;s National Board, to supplement and expand the work of local social service agencies, both nonprofit and governmental, in an effort to assist families and individuals experiencing a severe economic crisis that is not the immediate result of a natural or man-made disaster situation. The National Board is the only applicant eligible to apply for and be awarded these funds. This Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act supplemental funding for the EFSP is to address the impacts of the economic consequences of the COVID-19 public health emergency by providing food, shelter, and supportive service to those in need. The intent is that the National Board will administer the funding as is done for the program&apos;s annually appropriated funds. This will be done through the National Board&apos;s delivery structure of allocating funds to counties and cities with highest needs throughout the country and for the jurisdictions&apos; local boards to determine awards for local social service agencies providing the needed assistance.
