Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 24 MT 047 00 98
The Fiscal Year 2024 Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program is a FEMA discretionary grant opportunity (Department of Homeland Security) that provides federal funding to help communities reduce long-term risk from natural hazards. The program is built around the idea that climate change is increasing both the intensity and frequency of disasters and stressors, so mitigation needs to focus not only on sudden, extreme events but also on chronic conditions that steadily worsen over time. BRIC is meant to help communities better understand their risk, plan in a community-driven way, and then develop larger, more transformational projects that make people and systems safer before disasters occur.
BRIC emphasizes a few recurring themes in how FEMA wants applicants to think about resilience. It prioritizes building local capability and capacity, so communities are not just buying a single project but are improving the skill, staffing, and systems needed to manage mitigation over the long term. It also encourages innovation, including multi-hazard approaches (projects that reduce risk across several hazards at once) and nature-based solutions, specifically including strategies that use native plants when appropriate. FEMA also signals a preference for partnerships and larger, systems-based projects that can have broad impacts, while still keeping the program flexible and consistent enough that applicants can plan and execute effectively.
The opportunity supports three main categories of funding. First are Capability and Capacity-Building (C and C) activities, which focus on strengthening the knowledge, skills, and expertise of the workforce that administers mitigation assistance. Within that, FEMA highlights sub-categories such as building codes, partnerships, project scoping, hazard mitigation planning and related planning activities, and other similar activities that improve readiness to design and manage future mitigation work. Second are Hazard Mitigation Projects, which are described as cost-effective projects intended to increase resilience and public safety, reduce injuries and loss of life, and limit damage to property, critical services, facilities, infrastructure, and even natural systems. FEMA lists a wide range of hazards that can be addressed, including drought, wildfire, earthquakes, extreme heat, and climate change impacts. Third are Management Costs, which can reimburse recipients and subrecipients for eligible and reasonable indirect costs, direct administrative costs, and other administrative expenses tied to a specific mitigation measure or project.
Funding for awards under this opportunity is supported in whole or in part by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, commonly called the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). FEMA frames BIL as a major, long-term investment meant to strengthen infrastructure and the economy in a way that is more sustainable, resilient, and equitable, while improving U.S. competitiveness. In that same vein, FEMA encourages applicants to implement projects using Good Jobs Principles, aiming to expand access to stable, family-sustaining jobs and ensuring workers have a free and fair opportunity to join a union. While this does not change the technical purpose of BRIC (hazard mitigation), it signals that FEMA cares about how projects are delivered and the workforce outcomes associated with that spending.
From an eligibility and application standpoint, BRIC funding is available to states, U.S. territories, federally recognized tribal governments, and local governments, with the important note that local governments generally must apply through their state or territory rather than applying directly. The District of Columbia and U.S. territories are included in the program scope. Applications are submitted through FEMA Grants Outcomes (GO) at https://go.fema.gov/. In the source details provided, the opportunity is listed as Funding Opportunity Number DHS 24 MT 047 00 98, CFDA 97.047, with an award ceiling of up to $150,000,000, and FEMA anticipates making a large number of awards (expected awards listed as 800). The closing date shown is April 18, 2025.Apply for DHS 24 MT 047 00 98
