Emergency food and shelter national board program

The Federal Emergency Management Agency Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards awarded The National Board For The Emergency Food & Shelter Program $234 million on October 1, 2025, under the Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Program (CFDA 97.024).

The award funds emergency assistance including food aid, temporary shelter placement, rental assistance, utility assistance, and supportive services to economically disadvantaged individuals and families experiencing financial crises. The National Board sub-awards grant funds to a network of thousands of local partner organizations—nonprofit organizations and government agencies—that deliver these services at the grassroots level across the United States.

The performance period runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. Place of performance is Alexandria, Virginia. The assistance type is Project Grant. The National Board functions as the national coordinator and sole eligible applicant for EFSP funds under this program.
