Steamboat Briefs: Grant funds available for food, shelter programs
Advertisement
The Northern Rockies jurisdiction has been chosen to receive $50,000 in federal funds through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 to supplement emergency food and shelter programs in Routt, Eagle, Pitkin, Summit, Grand and Jackson counties. A national board led by the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency selected the jurisdiction.
A local board is seeking applications from agencies that: are a private, voluntary, nonprofit group or unit of government; are eligible to receive federal funds; have an accounting system; practice non-discrimination; and have demonstrated the capability to deliver emergency food and/or shelter programs. If the agency is a private voluntary organization, it must have a voluntary board.
To request an application, call Pam Graham at 970-870-8804. Applications are due Tuesday.
