FY 2023 Disaster Supplemental

The Economic Development Administration (EDA) is announcing the availability of funds to support disaster economic recovery activities in areas affected by Hurricanes Ian and Fiona, and wildfires, flooding, and other natural disasters in calendar years 2021 and 2022. The funding will be used to help communities and regions devise and implement long-term economic recovery strategies through a variety of non-construction and construction projects. Eligible applicants include District Organizations, Indian Tribes, States, counties, cities, institutions of higher education, and non-profit organizations. The application process will be ongoing, and applications will be accepted until the publication of a new Disaster Supplemental NOFO, cancellation of this Disaster Supplemental NOFO, or all available funds have been expended. • The EDA will consider applications that propose sound resilience planning for disasters and are ready for implementation of that plan. • The EDA will give priority to applications that incorporate principles for enhancing the resilience of the relevant community or region. • The EDA expects every project it funds to be resilient to future disruptions, including the impacts of climate change. • The EDA will evaluate and select applications according to the evaluation criteria set forth in the NOFO. • The EDA may make changes or additions to this NOFO, and all changes will be communicated on Grants.gov.
