Emergency Food and Shelter Program Humanitarian Program Update
The Emergency Food and Shelter Program Humanitarian Program (EFSP-H) is sunsetting. EFSP-H was launched in July 2019 when the National Board was asked to administer the Supplemental Appropriations for Humanitarian Assistance (SAHA) grant to respond to the influx of migrants at the U.S. southern border. More specifically, the program helped to defray the costs that state and Local Recipient Organizations (non-profit, faith-based, and governmental) incurred in providing food, shelter and other wraparound services to families and individuals who were encountered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security at the southern border. The last grant of funding for EFSP-H was awarded in FY2023, and the program is no longer distributing funds.
