Depending on whether or not the homes meet the BCA, <br />FEMA will know how to proceed with the application. We cannot approve the application <br />until funding is in place. <br />According to University City, they submitted the application in June 2009, more than six <br />months ago. Does FEMA consider University City’s application “new”? <br />- FEMA first received the application from the State Emergency Management Agency in <br />October. Additional information was needed and has since been provided. FEMA is in <br />the process of validating the BCA. This would be considered a new project because it <br />has not been approved or obligated prior to the Disaster Relief Fund (DRF) policy. <br />Could residents on Wilson Avenue receive funding from money that FEMA currently has <br />in its account? <br />- No, because it has not been approved or obligated prior to the Immediate Needs <br />Funding DRF policy.Due to Disaster Relief Fund (DRF) shortages, funds can’t be <br />obligated for hazard mitigation activities at this time until we receive the DRF <br />supplemental appropriation. The President has requested $3.6 Billion in supplemental <br />funds to cover disaster-related expenses. FEMA is working with OMB and Congress to <br />ensure that supplemental funding is appropriated, as expeditiously as possible, to cover <br />all remaining, anticipated FY 2010 expenditures. <br /> <br />
