About this opportunity

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is offering the Fiscal Year 2023 Shelter and Services Program (SSP) grant opportunity. This grant provides funding to non-federal entities, including 501(c)(3) nonprofits, tribal organizations, state/local governments, and public housing authorities, to temporarily shelter and provide services to noncitizen migrants recently released from Department of Homeland Security (DHS) custody. The key objectives are to support the safe, orderly, and humane release of noncitizen migrants from DHS short-term holding facilities and increase the capacity of non-federal entities to shelter this population. Eligible activities include providing shelter, food, transportation, acute medical care, personal hygiene supplies, and labor for case management. Applicants can submit proposals through the FEMA Grants Outcomes (GO) system, with the application deadline set for September 11, 2023.

Federal Grant Awards under this program typically range from $100,000 to over $20 million, with performance periods of up to 36 months. Recipients include state and local governments, nonprofit organizations, and faith-based institutions in border states such as Texas, Arizona, and California, as well as major cities like New York and Chicago. The awards are classified as Project Grants, with FEMA's Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards office as the awarding agency.

Synopsis

The Shelter and Services Program (SSP) makes available federal funds to eligible recipients and subrecipients for costs associated with providing shelter and other eligible services to noncitizen migrants who have been encountered and released by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Recipients of SSP may also seek grant funds for renovations or costs associated with modifications to existing facilities in support of individuals who have recently been released from the custody of U.S. Customs and Border Protection.


The priority of SSP is the safe, orderly, and humane release of noncitizen migrants from DHS short-term holding facilities, and the objectives are to provide funding to non-federal entities that serve noncitizen migrants recently released from DHS custody to temporarily provide shelter, food, transportation, acute medical care, personal hygiene supplies, and labor necessary to manage cases to provide these services; and to provide funding to non-federal entities to increase their capacity to temporarily shelter noncitizen migrants recently released from DHS custody, including renovations and modifications to existing facilities.


Applicants can submit applications for this funding opportunity through FEMA Grants Outcomes (GO). Access the system at https://go.fema.gov/.
