The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) awarded a $6,462,963 Project Grant to the New Jersey Department of Law & Public Safety, operating as the Office of the Attorney General, under the Safeguarding Tomorrow Revolving Loan Fund (CFDA 97.139) program. This grant provides capitalization funding to establish a revolving loan fund that will offer low-interest loans to local governments in New Jersey for hazard mitigation projects to reduce risks from natural disasters and environmental threats, such as wildfires, floods, severe storms, and earthquakes. The revolving loan fund will finance infrastructure modifications, community resilience initiatives, and other mitigation efforts to minimize potential harm from these types of events. As the designated State Administering Agency, the New Jersey Department of Law & Public Safety will be responsible for managing and distributing these federal grant funds to support local government hazard mitigation activities across the state.
