About this program
The Federal Emergency Management Agency administers the Presidential Declared Disaster Assistance to Individuals and Households — Other Needs program (CFDA 97.050) to provide financial assistance for unmet necessary expenses and serious needs of disaster survivors, with the most recent grant award issued on January 3, 2011.
This program has limited recent activity. Four Project Grants have been awarded since 1998, with the most recent disbursement occurring 15 years ago. The award cadence shows sporadic activity: one award in 1998, two in 2002, and one in 2011. No grant awards have been obligated since 2011, signaling the program is not currently active as a funding mechanism for individual and household disaster assistance.
The funded activity consisted of pass-through grants to state and territory administrations serving families in federally declared disaster areas. Awarded grants ranged from under one thousand dollars to approximately $216 thousand per grant, with all four awards classified as Project Grants.
FEMA Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards issued three of the four grants, obligating negative $221,298 in federal dollars; FEMA proper issued one grant obligating negative $9,229. The negative obligated amounts in the portfolio data suggest adjustments, recoveries, or data-quality issues in the historical record.
A grant opportunity posted under this program on August 10, 2020 — "Other Needs Assistance — Lost Wages" (Solicitation DHS-20-ONA-050-00-99) with a due date of September 10, 2020 — solicited applications from state and territory governments to administer supplemental payments for unemployment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic under the Stafford Act, with up to $44 billion in disaster relief funding available. This represents the sole recent opportunity in the source record and is now closed.
Pursuit of this program should account for its dormancy since 2011 and the COVID-era, time-limited nature of the sole recent opportunity.
