Livingston County has been awarded Federal funds under the Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Program. Livingston County has been allocated $95,082 from Phase 39 and Phase ARPAR. These funds will be available to assist with the emergency food and shelter needs of our community.

The allocation was made by a National Board that is chaired by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The funding has specific guidelines and requirements that must be followed by the agencies that receive funding. Those guidelines can be found in the links below. The purpose of FEMA funds is to support emergency food and shelter programs, which includes allowable expenses for shelter, rent, mortgage, and utility assistance. These funds can also be used to support eviction diversion and transitioning of individuals from homeless shelters to stable housing.

Applications will be due September 6th and the Local Board will review the applications during the week of September 12th. The board will announce funded applicants by September 16th. There are a number of applicant responsibilities that are outlined more clearly in the EFSP Manual and addendums found at these links:
