About this program
The Federal Emergency Management Agency administers the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (CFDA 97.039) to provide funding support to states, Indian tribal governments, territories, communities, and other eligible applicants to reduce the risk of future damage, loss of life, and property in areas affected by major disasters. The most recent grant award was disbursed on August 28, 2026.
The program has sustained consistent activity since its establishment in 1993. Grant awards averaged roughly 80 per year over the past five years, with 87 awards in 2022 declining to 52 awards through mid-2026. FEMA Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards dominates the program, accounting for 938 awards and $43.58 billion in federal dollars obligated, while the broader Federal Emergency Management Agency funding stream contributed 698 awards and $1.58 billion. Combined federal dollars obligated total $45.16 billion across 1,636 awards, with combined total obligated (including non-federal cost-share) reaching $46.21 billion. The difference reflects modest recipient cost-sharing requirements.
Awards are structured almost exclusively as Project Grants (1,634 of 1,636 awards), with only two Cooperative Agreements in the portfolio. Award magnitudes vary widely. Recent examples include $48.3 million to Hawaii for hazard mitigation work (January 2026), $22.7 million to Texas (October 2025), $12.9 million to Tennessee (July 2026), and $9.97 million to Virginia (February 2026). Smaller awards in the thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars also populate the portfolio, reflecting diverse project scope and recipient capacity. Most recent awards show completion dates of September 30, 2026, suggesting relatively short project timelines or interim milestone completions.
No recent grant opportunities are listed in the source. Applicants pursuing this program should monitor FEMA's standard announcement channels for disaster-triggered solicitations, as HMGP funding flows from declared disaster declarations rather than standing annual NOFOs.
