About this program
The Federal Emergency Management Agency funds construction, renovation, and improvement of state and local emergency operations centers through the Emergency Operations Center Grant Program (CFDA 97.052), with the most recent grant awards made September 1, 2024.
The program has accelerated substantially. Award volume rose from single-digit annual disbursements through 2021 to 21 awards in 2022, 26 in 2023, and 37 in 2024. The portfolio spans 193 awards since 2008, with $340.3 million in combined federal obligations; recipients have contributed an additional $34.4 million in non-federal matching funds. Grant cycles occur annually around September. Awarded grants typically fund three-year performance periods; recent 2024 awards run through August 31, 2027.
Funded activities include construction or renovation of primary emergency operations facilities for state and local governments, with a focus on flexibility, sustainability, security, and interoperability. Some awards bundle EOC funding with disaster-damaged facility repair or replacement. Recent representative awards include $16.3 million to an unnamed state recipient, $11 million to another recipient, and $10.6 million for an additional project. Smaller awards cluster in the $1 million to $5 million range, though the portfolio includes sub-million disbursements down to $707 thousand.
The program is dominated by a single funding source: Federal Emergency Management Agency Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards contributed 84 awards totaling $288.2 million in federal dollars (85% of the federal total), while a separate FEMA track accounted for 109 awards worth $52.1 million (15% of federal dollars). Assistance flows predominantly as Project Grants (96% of awards), with minor contributions from Formula Grants (3%), a single Cooperative Agreement (1%), and one Block Grant (1%).
A fiscal year 2026 EOC Grant Program opportunity (DHS-26-GPD-052-01-99) was posted June 15, 2026, with a July 15, 2026 deadline; eligibility was limited to state governments and federally recognized tribal governments. Fiscal year 2024 and prior cycles have closed.
