Pass through grant for families in disaster area

The Division of Emergency Management, operating as the West Virginia Office of Emergency Services, has been awarded a $609,029 Cooperative Agreement by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under the Disaster Assistance Projects program (CFDA 97.088). This pass-through grant funding is intended to support the delivery of comprehensive disaster assistance services to families and communities affected by presidentially-declared disasters in the state of West Virginia. The Division will use the grant to provide temporary housing assistance, infrastructure repairs, debris removal, emergency supply distribution, case management, counseling, and public education campaigns. As the designated emergency management agency for West Virginia, the Division regularly partners with county and municipal governments, nonprofits, and other state agencies to deliver these critical services across the state.
