The Department of Homeland Security announced a $350 million funding opportunity for the Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP) National Board to fund the humanitarian portion of the Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP-H). This humanitarian funding is designed to support local governments and organizations as they assist migrant families and individuals encountered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security at the southern border.

Beginning March 6th, the National Board, with support from FEMA, will host a series of webinars for potential applicants of EFSP-H funds to explain how to apply, discuss any changes from the previous year’s application guidance, and provide answers about the application process. 

Six webinars will be offered using the Zoom platform.
