Presidential Declared Disaster Assistance - Disaster Housing Operations for Individuals and Households

The Department of Homeland Security funded disaster housing assistance under CFDA 97.049, with the most recent grant award issued on October 19, 2010. This program is inactive—no grants have been awarded in the past 15 years, and no current grant opportunities are open.

The program distributed 16 Project Grants entirely, all administered by the Department of Homeland Security. Recent awards funded local government repair or replacement of disaster-damaged facilities and pass-through grants for families in presidentially declared disaster areas. Combined federal dollars obligated totaled $44 thousand across the portfolio, though this aggregate reflects multiple offsetting adjustments; individual awards ranged from negative adjustments of several thousand dollars to positive obligations of $165 thousand (Project Grant 1942DRNCTTHP, October 2010). The most recent substantive award was $165 thousand obligated in October 2010 for local government facility repair or replacement in a disaster area.

Award activity peaked in 2006 with four grants, then declined to one award by 2010. The portfolio spans from May 2003 to October 2010, representing activity across disaster declarations over a seven-year window. The majority of awards were grants to local governments for repair or replacement of disaster-damaged facilities, with a secondary stream of pass-through grants to families in disaster areas.

This program should be marked inactive pending renewal or reactivation of solicitations. The extended dormancy since 2010 and absence of any open or recently posted opportunities indicate the program is not currently a funding source.
