• Develop and complete more innovative risk-informed mitigation projects
• Help communities identify and mitigate the risks to natural hazards
• Increase resources to eliminate disparities in equitable outcomes across disadvantaged communities

Total funding available by applicant type:

• States and territories: $112,000,000

In this funding cycle, an additional $25,000,000 to tribes and $112,000,000 to states/territories is available for projects that include eligible building code adoption and enforcement activities.
