Answers to Common Questions:

Q: I Submitted an application, what am I supposed to do now?
A: Over the next few days, our team will be conducting a high-level review of all applications. Applicants are encouraged to watch your email for requests for additional information. If you get one, please respond promptly. If you do not receive a follow-up email, assume all is acceptable with your application.

Q: What should I do if I missed the FY26 NSGP opportunity?
A: It is never too early to start preparing for FY27. As we've seen, you may only have about 2 weeks, to submit an application once the grant is released by FEMA. Historically, the application process and requirements from year to year are very similar, so you can start preparing for FY27 now using the resources on the application info page.

Q: When will I hear back regarding my FY25 application?
A: There is still no word from FEMA on funded applicants, but they assure us it will be "soon"., We will contact you as soon as we have the results.
