About this program
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funds hazard mitigation infrastructure and resilience projects for states, territories, federally recognized tribal governments, and local communities under the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program (CFDA 97.047), with the most recent grant awards made in July 2026.
BRIC has distributed $3 billion in federal funding across 1,764 awards since 1999, with a sharp decline in recent award velocity: 192 awards in 2023, 92 in 2024, 9 in 2025, and 8 in 2026 year-to-date. Funded activities include pre-disaster mitigation projects, infrastructure resilience improvements, natural hazard risk reduction, building code adoption and enforcement, climate adaptation measures, and capability-building activities tied to infrastructure resilience. The program emphasizes transformation through systems-based projects, nature-based solutions, and investments that reduce risk to community lifelines and critical services. Combined federal and non-federal obligated dollars total $3.78 billion, indicating a non-federal cost-share of approximately $780 million.
The assistance-type mix is predominantly Project Grants (96 percent of awards, 1,702 grants) with minimal Cooperative Agreements and Formula Grants (2 percent each, 31 awards each). FEMA Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards dominate funding by both count and dollars, accounting for 1,286 awards worth $2.88 billion (73 percent of all federal dollars obligated), with a smaller FEMA entity contributing 478 awards totaling $121.2 million.
Recent awards show highly variable magnitudes. Project Grant EMF2022BR044 received $165.4 million (Jul 2024); Project Grant EMT2022BR021 received $40.4 million (May 2024); Project Grant EMA2023BR001 received $4.4 million (Jul 2026); and Project Grant EMP2023BR002 received $874,912 (Jul 2026). Recipients span multiple states and regions across fiscal years 2020–2023 project vintages.
An open opportunity (DHS-25-MT-047-00-98) posted March 25, 2026 solicits fiscal year 2024 and 2025 BRIC applications from county governments, tribal organizations, tribal governments (federally recognized), state governments, and city/township governments, with applications due July 23, 2026. A prior opportunity (DHS-24-MT-047-00-98) closed April 18, 2025 but illustrates the standard annual cycle. The FY 2024 & 2025 NOFO emphasizes infrastructure and construction projects delivering immediate, measurable risk reduction and limits capability-building to infrastructure-resilience-tied activities such as building code adoption. Certain awards may be funded in whole or in part by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
