Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 19 DAD 024 00 02
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Program (EFSP) opportunity, funded through supplemental appropriations for Southern Border humanitarian assistance, is a federal grant administered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). It is designed to provide additional resources that can be used to support urgent food and shelter needs connected to a severe economic crisis, specifically in a context that is not considered the immediate result of a natural disaster or a man-made disaster. In practical terms, this opportunity is meant to strengthen the day-to-day capacity of local assistance networks when the need for basic services spikes beyond what existing community funding can handle.
Funding is distributed through the program's National Board, which functions as the central body responsible for directing EFSP resources and channeling them to the local level. The intent is to supplement and expand the work already being done by local social service agencies, including both nonprofit organizations and government entities. Rather than building an entirely new service system, the program is structured to push federal funds into established, community-based providers that can quickly translate dollars into direct assistance for people who need food, emergency shelter, or related supportive services.
This particular opportunity is listed as a discretionary grant under Funding Opportunity Number DHS 19 DAD 024 00 02 and is associated with CFDA (now often referenced as Assistance Listing) 97.024. The funding activity category is labeled as "Other," indicating it does not fit neatly into a single standard category like disaster response or infrastructure, and the focus is instead on humanitarian assistance and emergency basic-needs support in a non-disaster context. The posting shows an expected number of awards of one, which commonly suggests a single primary award arrangement at the national level (for example, an award that supports the National Board structure and its distribution process), rather than many direct awards to individual local providers under this specific announcement.
Eligibility is noted generally as "Others," with the detailed interpretation typically being that the National Board and its established local recipient network are the primary mechanism for distributing funds, rather than a broad open competition for any organization. The purpose statement reinforces that the program is meant to help local social service agencies expand capacity to assist people facing serious hardship, and the supplemental appropriations reference signals a targeted policy focus tied to humanitarian pressures at the Southern Border during that period.
Key dates in the listing show the opportunity was created on July 30, 2019, with an original closing date of August 5, 2019, reflecting a short application window consistent with time-sensitive humanitarian funding. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which usually indicates the maximum award amount was not specified in the public summary field or was determined through internal allocations, rather than a fixed cap presented upfront in the synopsis.
Overall, the FY 2019 EFSP supplemental Southern Border humanitarian assistance grant opportunity is best understood as a FEMA-administered funding action that routes federal dollars through the EFSP National Board to reinforce local nonprofit and governmental providers delivering emergency food and shelter support to people experiencing acute economic distress outside of a declared disaster setting.Apply for DHS 19 DAD 024 00 02
