Fiscal Year 2026 Flood Mitigation Assistance

Solicitation # DHS-26-MT-029-000-98

The Fiscal Year 2026 Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) grant program, solicitation number DHS-26-MT-029-000-98, is a federal funding opportunity administered by FEMA under the Department of Homeland Security. With total program funding of 400 million dollars and an expected 40 awards, the program aims to reduce or eliminate repetitive flood damage to buildings and structures insured by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Eligible applicants include states, U.S. territories, federally recognized tribal governments, and local governments. The program focuses on three primary objectives: building capability and capacity for future risk reduction, implementing localized flood risk reduction projects, and executing individual flood mitigation projects. Cost sharing is required for these awards, and the projected period of performance is 36 months from the date of the award. Applications must be submitted via the FEMA GO portal by February 26, 2027, at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Applicants are required to maintain an active SAM.gov account, a Unique Entity ID (UEI), and an Employer Identification Number (EIN). FEMA utilizes a tiered priority system for awards, first funding eligible mitigation plans and technical assistance, followed by high-scoring project scoping subapplications, and finally other eligible subapplications based on their benefits to the NFIP. Evaluation is based on specific scoring factors, including the number of substantially damaged structures and active NFIP policies. Recipients must comply with the Build America, Buy America Act for infrastructure materials and adhere to strict environmental and historic preservation reviews. Performance is measured by targets including the selection of over 500 NFIP-insured properties and the avoidance of more than 900 million dollars in flood losses.

New Hampshire Clean Diesel Program

Solicitation # DES 2026-10

The New Hampshire Clean Diesel Program, administered by the Department of Environmental Services, is a solicitation for competitive grant applications to fund diesel emissions reduction projects within the state. With approximately 1,000,000 dollars available, the program operates on a rolling monthly basis to provide partial reimbursement for eligible projects. Eligible activities include the installation of EPA-certified remanufacture systems, EPA-verified idle reduction technologies, aerodynamic technologies, and low rolling resistance tires.

Additionally, electric vehicle supply equipment and certain idle reduction technologies must comply with Build America, Buy America sourcing requirements. Applications are evaluated using a 100-point scoring system, with bonus points available for alternative fuel use and projects benefiting priority New Hampshire communities.
