On July 2, 2024, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced selectees for its Fiscal Year 2023 (FY23) Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) grant program. The total funding amount for this cycle? Nearly $1 billion, an astronomically high figure far exceeding a vast majority of authorized federal grant programs.
The BRIC program is one of DHS/FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation grant initiatives, targeting proactive community resilience projects with a special emphasis on infrastructure. It particularly benefits disadvantaged communities, promotes projects incorporating climate resilience and nature-based solutions, and encourages the adoption of hazard-resistant building codes.
On Friday, August 23 at 2 PM ET, join the Lexipol Grants Team and the City of Rochester, Michigan’s Fire Chief, John Cieslik, for a closeup case study on important application components to consider when applying. This Q&A aims to demystify the BRIC application process and offer tips on how to be the next successful selectee!
