The Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Program

Phase 27 Funding Announced

On December 19, 2008, the National Board awarded funds to qualifying jurisdictions and State Set-Aside Committees. Congress has appropriated $200 million for use in Phase 27 to supplement local service providers. Notification letters have been mailed to qualifying Local Boards and State Set-Aside Committees. Local Boards will advertise the availability of these funds in their jurisdictions and make funding decisions.

Phase 26 Final Reports and Compliance

As of December 19, 2008, all Final Reports have been mailed to Local Boards for distribution to LROs. Please wait for the forms and instructions to be received from the National Board or your Local Board. Deadline information is included with the instructions. Please remember that the Phase 26 Final Report must be received before Phase 27 funding can be released and that no agency with an outstanding compliance problem from any previous phase of funding can be paid until all compliance issues have been resolved.
