Activities must relate to recovery and may not duplicate FEMA or Corps funding
What the document says“Grant funds under this section may not be used for costs reimbursable by, or for which funds have been made available by, the Federal Emergency Management Agency or the United States Army Corps of Engineers.”
The new section 124 provides that assisted activities may include those permitted under section 105 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 or others the Secretary permits by waiver, and must relate to relief, long-term recovery, restoration of housing and infrastructure, economic revitalization, and mitigation in the worst hit areas. Grant funds may not pay costs that the Federal Emergency Management Agency or the United States Army Corps of Engineers reimburses or has funded.
What the document actually says“Grant funds under this section may not be used for costs reimbursable by, or for which funds have been made available by, the Federal Emergency Management Agency or the United States Army Corps of Engineers.”
The money may not pay a cost another agency covers. Two other agencies do much of this work. It may not pay for what they have funded.
Two federal bodies pay for much disaster work already. Paying twice would waste money. This bars that.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
