CABELL AND WAYNE COUNTIES HAVE BEEN AWARDED FEDERAL FUNDS MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY (DHS)/FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY UNDER THE EMERGENCY FOOD AND SHELTER NATIONAL BOARD PROGRAM. Cabell and Wayne Counties have been awarded funds to supplement emergency food and shelter programs in the Counties. EFSP Phase 37 includes $53,100 and Phase CARES includes $75,706. These two phases will run concurrently. The selection was made by a National Board that is chaired by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency and consists of representatives from American Red Cross; Catholic Charities, USA; National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA; The Jewish Federations of North America, The Salvation Army; and, United Way Worldwide. The Local Board was charged to distribute funds appropriated by Congress to help expand the capacity of food and shelter programs in high-need areas around the country. A Local Board made up of local representatives from The Red Cross, The Jewish Federations of North America, The Salvation Army, United Way, etc. will determine how the funds awarded to Cabell and Wayne Counties are to be distributed among the emergency food and shelter programs run by local service agencies in the area.
