The Flood Mitigation Assistance grant provides federal funding to states, territories, tribal governments, and local governments to support activities that reduce or eliminate repetitive flood damage to buildings insured by the National Flood Insurance Program. The program aims to lower flood risk for policyholders and reduce the NFIP's financial exposure through various mitigation projects.
Eligible applicants include state, county, city or township governments, federally recognized tribal governments, other tribal organizations, U.S. territories, and the District of Columbia. Local governments must apply through their state or territory.
