Grant Funding OverviewGrant opportunities are announced annually by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The city strategically identifies project opportunities, whether public or private, throughout the course of the year. Projects that weigh heavier are those that address the primary threats and also serve to decrease future National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) payouts. The current project focuses on neighborhood, regional, and watershed-level projects in line with the city's Resilience Strategy and Vision 2100.Please note: Individuals cannot apply directly to FEMA for funding. The city submits application materials to VDEM on behalf of a property owner. VDEM will determine if a project is cost-effective and apply to FEMA for grant funding consideration.Status of Projects & Pending Applications Provided below is the status of the city's approved projects and pending applications.Project NameProgramPhaseElevation of 6 Residential PropertiesFMA 2016CompletedAcquisition and Demolition of 4 Residential PropertiesHMGP 4262-ACompletedElevation of 7 Residential PropertiesHMGP 4262-BCompleted Mitigation Reconstruction of 1 Residential PropertyFMA 2018-ACompletedElevation of 11 Residential PropertiesFMA 2018-BCompletedElevation of 5 Residential PropertiesFMA 2020-ANot Selected by FEMAElevation of Four Attached TownhomesFMA 2020-BClosedElevation of 7 Residential Properties FMA 2021Not Selected by FEMAElevation of 7 Residential PropertiesFMA 2022Awarded
