Why didn't I receive HMGP funds when some of my neighbors did?
The HMGP is administered by the State, which prioritizes and selects project applications developed and submitted by local jurisdictions. The State forwards applications consistent with State mitigation planning objectives to FEMA for eligibility review. Although individuals may not apply directly to the State for assistance, local governments may sponsor an application on their behalf. Funding for the grant program is limited and States and local communities must make difficult decisions as to the most effective use of available grant funds.
