Grants office urges pre‑applications as federal grant timelines remain uncertain
Summary
Grants staff reported there is no confirmed timeline for FY‑25 emergency management grants and urged jurisdictions to submit applications now so they are ready when FEMA funding announcements drop.
Derek Franklin (presenting for the grants team) briefed the council on June 3 about the status of federal preparedness and homeland security grants and asked jurisdictions to prepare applications ahead of any sudden funding announcements.
Franklin said, "there is still no status on the no cost for FY '25," referring to ongoing uncertainty about no‑cost extensions for the Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) and related programs. He said the grants team has opened the application portal to allow jurisdictions to pre‑file proposals to reduce turnaround time when federal notices arrive.
"Please please please submit those applications. Work with the grants team if you have any question so that when the no vote drop, we are, as ready as possible," Franklin said.
The report covered the Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG), the Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP), the Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) and the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP). Franklin did not provide dollar amounts during the briefing.
Council members asked no substantive follow‑up questions during the item.
