About this opportunity
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is soliciting applications for the Fiscal Year 2024 Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) grant program, which funds projects and initiatives designed to reduce or eliminate the risk of repetitive flood damage to buildings and structures insured under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) in participating communities. Eligible applicants include states, U.S. territories, federally recognized tribal governments, city/township governments, and county governments. Key requirements include maintaining FEMA-approved state or tribal hazard mitigation plans, registering in SAM.gov, obtaining a UEI number, and submitting applications through the FEMA Grants Outcomes (GO) system. Projects must demonstrate cost-effectiveness through benefit-cost analysis using FEMA-approved methodologies and comply with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements and floodplain management standards. Selection criteria prioritize projects that mitigate flood damage to repetitively flooded properties, support Community Rating System (CRS) participation, and demonstrate climate adaptation, equity, and community resilience benefits. The application deadline is August 6, 2026, at 3:00 PM Eastern Time.
The FY 2024 FMA program makes $600 million in federal funding available, allocated across three priority categories: $60 million for Capability and Capacity Building Activities, $420 million for Localized Flood Risk Reduction Projects, and $120 million for Individual Flood Mitigation Projects. Federal cost share options range from 75% to 100% depending on project type and whether structures meet Severe Repetitive Loss (SRL) or Repetitive Loss (RL) definitions, with enhanced cost shares available for disadvantaged communities identified through the Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool. The period of performance extends 36 months from the date of award, with applicants and subapplicants eligible to request up to 10% and 5% respectively of total project costs for management and administration. Projects must benefit NFIP-insured properties and participating communities throughout the United States, its territories, and federally recognized tribal lands.

Update #1 ·
The Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) grant program makes federal funds available to states, U.S. territories, federally recognized tribal governments,1 and local governments to reduce or eliminate the risk of repetitive flood damage to buildings and structures insured under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), and within NFIP-participating communities. It does so with a recognition of the growing flood hazards associated with climate change,2 and of the need for flood hazard risk mitigation activities that promote climate adaptation, equity, and resilience with respect to flooding. These include both acute extreme weather events and chronic stressors which have been observed and are expected to increase in intensity and frequency in the future. From Fiscal Year (FY) 1996 to FY 2019, FMA obligated over $1.5 billion in federal cost share mitigating over 8,000 properties insured by the NFIP.
