for selected incidents. Figure does not display non-disaster supplemental funding.

What   are  other  application   considerations?

EDA's Notices of Funding Opportunities (NOFO) provide
additional guidance, including the following instructions.
.  CEDS: Except for strategy grants, projects must also be
   consistent with the region's certified CEDS or equivalent
   EDA-accepted  regional economic development strategy
   (see https://www.eda.gov/ceds).
 . Cost share: EDA NOFOs  provide guidance on the percentage
   of total project expenses that may be covered by EDA
   funding. EDA may provide assistance at lower cost-sharing
   rates under certain circumstances (42 U.S.C. §3233).
   Indian Tribes and areas that meet certain thresholds of
   economic  distress may qualify for reduced cost-sharing
   responsibilities.
 . Equity: EDA expects projects to advance equity to
   underserved populations to the extent practical.
  Resilience: Projects are expected to incorporate resiliency
   principles, to the greatest extent possible.


When is   the  application   deadline?        o
No deadline. Applications are generally accepted on
an ongoing basis.
