Huntington Township Trustees

Huntington Township Trustees is a U.S. local government entity based in Chillicothe, Ohio, registered with SAM.gov since January 2012. As a township government structure, the organization provides essential emergency services and firefighting capabilities to the local community. Through federal grant awards, Huntington Township Trustees has demonstrated a sustained commitment to strengthening its fire and emergency response infrastructure by securing funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to enhance public safety, improve firefighter capabilities, and support community resilience initiatives.

Huntington Township Trustees has received four significant federal grant awards from FEMA totaling $1,064,232 since June 2023, demonstrating a strong track record in securing emergency services funding. The organization has primarily leveraged two FEMA grant programs to advance its firefighting and emergency response operations: the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) program (CFDA 97.044) and the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) program (CFDA 97.083). Under the AFG program, the township secured three project grants totaling $468,750 (awarded June 1, 2023; August 28, 2024; and September 27, 2025) to procure critical firefighting equipment, personal protective gear, and support fire-related hazard mitigation and management initiatives. Additionally, the organization received a substantial $595,482 SAFER grant (awarded February 26, 2024) focused on firefighter hiring and retention over a three-year implementation period to enhance staffing levels and operational readiness. These grant awards collectively support the township's ability to procure essential equipment, enhance training capabilities, improve firefighter safety, and maintain adequate emergency response staffing to protect the Chillicothe community.
